Ability / HR / Governance / Special Education QUESTION #5644

Question 3

Under the GFR principles enforced by the PAO the principle of 'Prudence' requires that expenditure must not be prima facie more than the occasion demands. A government servant incurs lavish hospitality expenditure at a public function claiming it is within the budget allocation. Which principle is MOST directly violated even if funds are available?

Limitations — because actual expenditure may approach the budget allocation
Prudence — because every government servant must exercise the same vigilance over public funds as a person of ordinary prudence would over their own money✔️
Public Advantage — because the expenditure benefits a section of the community
Propriety — because high standards of financial propriety require formal approval

Correct Answer Logic:

Prudence directly applies: expenditure must not be prima facie more than the occasion demands and every government servant must exercise the same vigilance over public funds as a person of ordinary prudence would over their own money. Lavish hospitality directly contradicts this standard even if within budget.

Question 9

ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) quantifies an antigen by:

Separating antigens by size on polyacrylamide gels
Measuring colour change produced by an enzyme linked to a detection antibody that is proportional to antigen amount✔️
Counting individual antigen molecules using flow cytometry
