New Delhi: Delhi assembly speaker Vijender Gupta convened a high-level meeting on Monday to address key matters related to audit compliance and financial governance. During the meeting, Gupta reiterated the importance of timely submission of action-taken notes on audit reports submitted by Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) and emphasised the need for improved inter-departmental coordination.
Apart from public accounts committee (PAC) chairperson Ajay Mahawar, accountant general (Audit) Roli Shukla Malge, additional chief secretary (Finance) Ashish Chand Verma, and senior officials of finance, excise, and health and family welfare departments were present at the meeting. PAC is currently scrutinising the CAG reports on health, excise, and pollution, which were tabled in Delhi assembly earlier this year.
According to a statement released by the Delhi assembly secretariat, the meeting focused on two major issues: the implementation of the audit para monitoring system (APMS) and the review of action-taken notes (ATNs) on the reports. These measures aim to ensure accountability, enhance transparency, and promote timely response to audit findings.
During the deliberations, the need for improved inter-departmental coordination and the timely submission of ATNs was emphasised to ensure that the recommendations of the CAG are adequately addressed. tnn
