CAG to Discuss Remote Auditing with State Finance Secretaries
The government's auditing team (CAG) is planning to use a new way of checking things called remote auditing.
This means they can look at information digitally, without always visiting places in person.
They'll be talking about this with finance people from different states in September.
This should make it faster and easier to check how money is being used and improve the overall process.
They're aiming to make sure everything is available digitally, only visiting when extra clarity is needed.
CAG will discuss remote auditing with state finance secretaries in September.
The meeting will address remote auditing, timely state accounts data, and central sector schemes.
Remote auditing enables audits without physical presence, using digital information.
Physical visits will be limited to cases requiring clarity.
The CAG is modernizing public auditing through digitization and IT initiatives.
