Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha addressed the closing ceremony of ‘Audit Week’ at Convention Centre Jammu, today.
In his address, the Lt Governor appreciated the efforts of the audit community towards transparent and accountable governance.
He said the week-long audit day celebrations provide us with an opportunity to reflect on the critical role the audit community plays in contributing to good governance and shaping the governance landscape of our Nation.
“Public audit ensures that every rupee is well spent for the purpose to bring about a change in the lives of the people standing in the last queue of development,” the Lt Governor said.
One of the earliest institutions established to bring transparency, accountability and honesty in public life is the Institution of Comptroller and Auditor General of India. Our forefathers while drafting the Constitution had a clear opinion that the Auditor General would be the most important officer in the democratic processes, he said.
