Comptroller and Auditor General Act

The Comptroller and Auditor General Act establishes the authority and responsibilities of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), who is responsible for auditing government agencies and departments to ensure money is used properly. The Act provides legal framework for conducting independent audits, promoting financial accountability, transparency, and efficient use of public funds. Essentially, it ensures that the government’s financial activities are objectively checked and reported, helping to prevent misuse of resources and maintain public trust. The CAG’s work supports informed decision-making and accountability in the management of government finances.
