NEW DELHI: Even though the findings of performance audit reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India put the government’s functioning mechanism under the scanner, the Centre is least concerned about acting on the recommendations suggested by the national auditor as of the 422 recommendations made in the year 2021-22, the government accepted just 83 recommendations, which accounts to 20 percent of the total recommendations.

According to the CAG’s performance report for the year 2021-22, the apex auditor has stated that a total 34 audit reports of the Union government and 131 such reports of states and Union Territory governments were approved in the last fiscal.
