Investigation into Government Bond Irregularities in 1860s Treasury
The Joint Committee on Retrenchment and Reform reports on the 1860s bond and security operations of the Treasury. They detail printing and delivery discrepancies, duplicate notes and coupons, and destruction safeguards, finding no proven government fraud but acknowledging extensive book-keeping laxity and procedural flaws. The panel urges stronger controls to prevent errors and potential fraud, including segregated handling of plates and notes.
