New Delhi : Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed Conclave of Accountants General and Deputy Accountants General here on November 21, 2019. Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister said that the time bound and outcome based system of working is developing in the country and CAG has a great role in that. This is being made possible as lot of hard work goes into the work performed by CAG particularly by the field offices of the CAG.

Because of such dedicated auditors, the credibility and strength of CAG has come into form, the PM added. He emphasised that to bring a change in such an old established institution, itself is a great challenge. The Prime Minister said that talking of reforms is fancy today but the actual reform occurs when the entire rank and file is fully ready with complete honesty to bring reform with full dedication and this is applicable to every government and every organisation of the country including the CAG, according to a PIB release.

He added that changes have also come in the audit process of the CAG. Whatever CAG does will have direct impact on the governance. The CAG audit process should also not take too much time. CAG also has to progress towards CAG plus, the PM said.
