PRS | Parliament Track | Primers | Making Government Accountable.
A primer on how CAG works. Puts in perspective the role and methods of CAG, and how reports are released. As a layman, government audit reports going back to government (finance ministry) is a bit weird – they will obviously reject whatever doesn’t suit them. Madhukar, are there any checks and balances, or does the fact that these are public reports act as a counterbalance? Also, how are appointments to CAG made – seems like this is one office that everyone discredits all the time?
