The Union Government’s Finance and Appropriation Accounts for 2014-15 along with the Audit Report of the Comptroller & Auditor General (CAG) of India were presented in Parliament on Wednesday.
This is the second time since Independence that the Annual Accounts of the Union Government have been tabled in Parliament in the same calendar year. This has been possible because of increased automation in the preparation and finalization of Annual Accounts in the O/o CGA, greater involvement of the line Ministries & Departments and support received from the O/o Comptroller & Auditor General of India.
