- Summary
- In Great Britain, the Auditor of the Imprests was an office of the Exchequer, responsible for auditing the accounts of officers of the English crown to whom money was issued for government expenditure. This office existed until 1785.
- These records appear to be contemporary copies and include accounts, orders, and other documents created from 1683 to 1718, including ordnance and other army accounts; methods of passing leases; expenses of Queen Anne's funeral and the coronation of George I; and a list of officers of customs in the plantations. They consist of three volumes. Volume I appears to have been copied from Volume III, with slight variations, and contains reports of the auditors to the Lord High Treasurer, 1699-1709. Volume II contains rules, regulations, and orders governing the conduct of the ordnance, Navy board, Marine office, and Army, chiefly on the financial side, having originated in the office of the Auditors of the Imprests for official use there.
