CHAPTER - I Page INTRODUCTION 1 to 9 Chapter I : Introduction 1.1 About this Report This Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (C&AG) relates to matters arising from performance audit of selected autonomous bodies and compliance audit of Government departments falling under General and Social Sector. Compliance audit refers to examination of the transactions relating to expenditure of the audited entities to ascertain whether the provisions of the Constitution of India, applicable laws, rules, regulations and various orders and instructions issued by the competent authorities are being complied with. On the other hand, performance audit besides conducting a compliance audit, also examines whether the objectives of the programme/activity/department are achieved economically and efficiently. The primary purpose of the Report is to bring to the notice of the State Legislature, important results of audit. Auditing Standards require that the materiality level for reporting should be commensurate with the nature, volume and magnitude of transactions. The findings of audit are expected to enable the Executive to take corrective actions as also to frame policies and directives that will lead to improved operational efficiency and financial management of the organisations, thus contributing to better governance. This chapter, in addition to explaining the planning and extent of audit, provides a synopsis of the significant deficiencies and achievements in working of the two Boards, significant audit observations made during the audit of transactions and follow up on previous Audit Reports. Chapter II of this Report contains findings arising out of performance audit of two selected Boards. Chapter III contains observations on audit of transactions in Government departments and autonomous bodies. Chapter IV contains observations on the Chief Controlling Officer (CCO) based audit of the Women and Child Development Department. 1.2 Audited Entity Profile The Principal Accountant General (General & Social Sector Audit), Maharashtra conducts audit of the expenditure under the General and Social Services incurred by 19 departments in the State at the Secretariat level and eight autonomous bodies.
