Suggested reforms In June 2012, Lal Krishna Advani a veteran Indian politician and former Deputy Prime Minister of India ( as well as former Leader of the Opposition in Indian Parliament ) suggested that CAG 's appointment should be made by a bipartisan collegium consisting of the prime minister, the Chief Justice of India, the Law Minister and the Leaders of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. Subsequently, M Karunanidhi, the head of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam ( DMK ) party and five times Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu supported the suggestion. Advani made this demand to remove any impression of bias or lack of transparency and fairness because, according to him, the current system was open to `` manipulation and partisanship ''. Similar demand was made by many former CEC 's such as BB Tandon, N Gopalaswamy and SY Quraishi, however the government did not seem too keen. CPI MP Gurudas Dasgupta wrote a letter to the PM and demand CAG has appointed by the collegium of consisting the PM, the CJI and the leader of the opposition in Lok Sabha but the PM declined.

The Indian Audit and Accounts Service aids the CAG in the discharge of his / her functions. Scope of audits `` CAG is not a munimji or an accountant or something like that... He is a constitutional authority who can examine the revenue allocation and matters relating to the economy. CAG is the principal auditor whose function is to go into the economy, effectiveness and efficiency of the use of resources by the government. If the CAG will not do, then who else will do it '' -- Observation of a bench of Supreme Court of India while dismissing a petition challenging CAG reports on 2G spectrum, Coal Blocks Allotment, etc. Audit of government accounts ( including the accounts of the state governments ) in India is entrusted to the CAG of India who is empowered to audit all expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of the union or state governments, whether incurred within India or outside, all revenue into the Consolidated Funds and all transactions relating to the Public Accounts and the Contingency Funds of the Union and the states.

Mr Omkar Goswami is an Indian who is presently one of the External Auditors of the UN organisation World Food Programme ( WFP ) headquartered at Rome, Italy. Reforms suggested by former CAG Vinod Rai In November 2009, the CAG requested the government to amend the 1971 Audit Act to bring all private - public partnerships ( PPPs ), Panchayti Raj Institutions and societies getting government funds within the ambit of the CAG. The amendment further proposes to enhance CAG 's powers to access information under the Audit Act. In the past, almost 30 % of the documents demanded by CAG officials have been denied to them. The PPP model has become a favourite mode of executing big infrastructure projects worth millions of rupees and these projects may or may not come under the audit purview of the CAG, depending on sources of funds and the nature of revenue sharing agreements between the government and the private entities. Currently, it is estimated that 65 percent of government spending does not come under the scrutiny of the CAG. Prominent audit reports Following are some of the most debated CAG reports : 2G Spectrum allocation Main article : 2G Spectrum case A CAG report on issue of Licences and Allocation of 2G Spectrum resulted in a huge controversy. The report estimated that there was a presumptive loss of ₹ 1,766 billion ( US $27 billion ) by the United Progressive Alliance ( UPA ) government. In a chargesheet filed on 2 April 2011 by the investigating agency Central Bureau of Investigation ( CBI ), the agency pegged the loss at ₹ 310 billion ( US $4.7 billion ) All the speculations of profit, loss and no - loss were put to rest on 2 February 2012 when the Supreme Court of India on a public interest litigation ( PIL ) declared allotment of spectrum as `` unconstitutional and arbitrary '' and quashed all the 122 licenses issued in 2008 during tenure of A. Raja ( then minister for communications & IT in the UPA government ) the main accused. The court further said that A. Raja `` wanted to favour some companies at the cost of the public exchequer '' and `` virtually gifted away important national asset ''. Revenue loss calculation was further established on 3 August 2012 when according to the directions of the Supreme Court, Govt of India revised the reserve price for 2G spectrum to ₹ 140 billion ( US $2.1 billion ) However, the special court in New Delhi acquitted all accused in the 2G spectrum case including prime accused A Raja and Kanimozhi on December 21, 2017, the verdict was based on the fact that CBI could not find any evidence against the accused in those 7 years. Per the judgement, `` Some people created a scam by artfully arranging a few selected facts and exaggerating things beyond recognition to astronomical levels. '' Coal Mine Allocation Main article : Coal Mining Scam A 2012 CAG report on Coal Mine Allocation received massive media and political reaction as well as public outrage. During the 2012 monsoon session of the Parliament, the BJP protested the Government 's handling of the issue demanding the resignation of the prime minister and refused to have a debate in the Parliament. The deadlock resulted in Parliament functioning only seven of the twenty days of the session. The CAG report criticised the Government by saying it had the authority to allocate coal blocks by a process of competitive bidding, but chose not to. As a result, both public sector enterprises ( PSEs ) and private firms paid less than they might have otherwise. In its draft report in March, the CAG estimated that the `` windfall gain '' to the allocatees was ₹ 10,673 billion ( US $160 billion ). The CAG Final Report tabled in Parliament put the figure at ₹ 1,856 billion ( US $28 billion ) While the initial CAG report suggested that coal blocks could have been allocated more efficiently, resulting in more revenue to the government, at no point did it suggest that corruption was involved in the allocation of coal. Over the course of 2012, however, the question of corruption came to dominate the discussion. In response to a complaint by the BJP, the Central Vigilance Commission ( CVC ) directed the CBI to investigate the matter. The CBI named a dozen Indian firms in a First Information Report ( FIR ), the first step in a criminal investigation. These FIRs accuse them of overstating their net worth, failing to disclose prior coal allocations, and hoarding rather than developing coal allocations. The CBI officials investigating the case have speculated that bribery may be involved. Fodder scam Main article : Fodder scam The scandal was first exposed due to the CAG report in the matter in December 1995. The report alleged of fraudulent withdrawal of government funds worth ₹ 9.5 billion ( US $150 million ) in the Bihar animal husbandry department against non-existent supplies of fodder and medicines. Subsequently, based on Patna High Court 's orders, CBI investigated the case and registered as many as 63 cases. Many accused have been convicted while many cases are still under trial. Krishna - godavari ( KG ) D - 6 gas block The oil ministry imposed a fine of ₹ 7000 crores on Mukesh Ambani 's company for the sharp drop in production of gas and violations mentioned in CAG 's 2011 report. Oil ministry did not approve company 's US $7.2 billion stake in deal with BP. So Jaipal Reddy known for his honesty was shifted from oil ministry to the Science and Technology ministry owing to pressure from Reliance group of Industries. RIL allowed the CAG to begin the audit in April this year after stalling it for a year. But unresolved issues could stall audit of KG Basin again. Then Reliance appointed Defence Secretary Shashikant Sharma as new CAG to audit KG Basin, said Prashant Bhushan. In KG D - 6, most of the cost had been recovered by the private player and the increase in price would only go as profit. About 90 % of receipts from K-G D - 6 were so far booked as expenditure and in the remaining 10 %, only 1 % was paid to the government and rest 9 % went to the operator as profit.
