A team headed by Deputy Comptroller and Auditor General (Report Central) Rakesh Mohan on May 23 held a brainstorming interactive session with the senior officers of Union Ministries to facilitate the identification of systemic issues, financial irregularities, and potential areas for improvement.
More than 30 senior officers from 18 Union Ministries participated in the session. Addressing the participants, Mr. Mohan said there was a growing acknowledgement of a required synergy between the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) and the executive. It could help address deficiencies and enhance governance mechanisms, leading to the effective and judicious utilisation of public resources to optimise the desired outcomes.
