Excerpt from The Exchequer and the Control of Expenditure

Votes to which they were chargeable, and that the totals of those votes were not exceeded. In discharging this last duty they were not merely criticising the accounting officials but the Board of Admiralty itself. They were seeing that the Board did not break the understanding on which the First Lord had obtained spending authority from Parliament. And the results were reported to Parliament, so that any transgression would be revealed.
