    "content": "The Report talks about poor performance of Accounting Officers and their failure to convene entry and exit meetings for audit purposes. This is worrying and horrendous. That should not be accepted at all. How will the Accounting Officers know what is going on? There is also failure to respond to management letters. That is a perennial problem. There is also late submission of reports. Something related to this has also been indicated in this Report – failure of the internal audit function within the ministries. This is a terrible problem. You often find cases of misappropriation of funds, corruption and loss of public funds being reported in newspapers even before the Accounting Officers get to know about them and yet they have internal audit units. We should strengthen the internal audit departments. It is not acceptable that Accounting Officers are not made aware when things go wrong and yet they have internal audit departments. They should pick up such matters in advance so that such problems can be prevented. The internal audit units in the ministries need to be strengthened."
