The department is moving towards minimising need for visiting auditee units and orienting processes to present interactive accounts and digital audit reports. Efforts are also on to institutionalise knowledge base, leverage IT based platform to curate knowledge resources and develop anytime, anywhere learning and IT based toolkits for auditors. In the last few years, the Indian Audit and Accounts Department has moved towards transforming audit to meet challenges in the new age, technology driven India, according to a PIB release.
