Regularity Audit (Compliance)

– Audit against provision of funds to ascertain whether the moneys shown as expenditure in the Accounts were authorized for the purpose for which they were spent.

– Audit against rules and regulation to see that the expenditure incurred was in conformity with the laws, rules and regulations framed to regulate the procedure for expending public money.

– Audit of sanctions to expenditure to see that every item of expenditure was done with the approval of the competent  authority in the Government for expending the public money.

– Propriety Audit which extends beyond scrutinizing the mere formality of expenditure to it wisdom and economy and to bring to light cases of improper expenditure or waste of public money.

While conducting the audit of receipts of the Central and State Governments, the Comptroller & Auditor General satisfies himself that the rules and procedures ensure that assessment, collection and allocation of revenue are done in accordance with the law and there is no leakage of revenue which legally should come to Government.
