The major irregularities brought to notice by the Internal Audit during 2001-2002 are as follows:-
The departmental action is generally slow when it comes to settling of Internal Audit objections. The compliance of the objections of a particular year are verified at the time of next audit and if compliance is found to be correctly done, the paras are settled on the spot. The details of outstanding paras, zone-wise as on 31.3.2002 are tabulated. As a result of constant persuasive work by the zonal offices to get the observations settled, 2191 paras have been dropped during the year. In monetary terms Rs. 32.56 lakhs have been recovered as a result of their efforts. An Annual Review on the performance of the Internal Audit wing is prepared and is sent to the office of the Controller General of Accounts. This report is also sent to the Secretary (Revenue) and Chairman, CBEC so that corrective and preventive action can be initiated at the appropriate levels. Internal audit is an important tool for appraising the organization from within, for review of Accounting, Financial and Administrative functions. It highlights areas of deficiencies and laxities. The inspection reports provide a basis for taking remedial and corrective action. A prompt action by the departmental officers would not only motivate the Inspection teams to perform their work in a more conscientious way but also help in bringing Government dues into Govt. coffers at the earliest. The details of outstanding Paras are given in the Graph. |
