The biggest strength of PFMS is its integration with the banking network in

New Initiatives/
Achievements under Internal Audit
·
The
Controller General of Accounts (CGA) has developed a risk based control
framework in the form of Generic Internal Audit Manual to guide the internal
audit engagements. The manual not only explain the complexities associated with
the internal audit functions but also facilitates the entire process by
providing audit process, templates and guidelines.
·
The
work of development of 2nd version of the Generic Internal Audit Manual in
association with the Institute of the Internal Auditors (IIA) India has also
been commenced in November, 2016. The revised Generic Internal Audit Manual
will be developed as per International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF).
The revised version will also include recommendations made by the Ministry of
Women and Child Development to include the guidelines on Gender Audit of
Policies, Programmes and Schemes of the Government of India.
·
A
directional shift in the scope and approach of internal audit has been
initiated by the organization by infusing two concepts- “Risk Assessment” and
Performance Evaluation” for strengthening financial management and internal
controls. The line Ministries are being encouraged to plan the audit
assignments by adopting the Risk Based Auditing approach. Risk Based Audit in
selected Ministries is being conducted on pilot basis.
·
The
organization is also focusing on the use of Computer Assisted Audit Tools for
more transparency and accountability. Electronic Risk Assessment Software (e
RAS), a diagnostic tool for internal audit has been developed in collaboration
with NIC. This diagnostic tool [e RAS] is not only helpful to the audit in
planning, sampling and conducting the audit efficiently but it is also helpful
to the management / stakeholders to have a review of the functioning of their
entities [PAOs only] in their offices instead of visiting these offices located
at different places in different states.
·
The
organization is regularly reviewing the performance of the internal audit units
of the line Ministries/Departments. The Annual Review on the performance of
Internal Audit Wings of Civil Ministries depicts the information on different
shortcomings of the Civil Ministries in the form of observations. The Annual
performance reports of the different Ministries/Departments are analyzed and
summarized by the Internal Audit Division for the purposes of brevity and ease
of presentation. The outcome of Internal Audit through recoveries
effected in pursuance to the observations of the Internal Audit is also
included to reflect the impact of Internal Audit.
·
The
Annual Review for the year 2015-16 of Internal Audit conducted by the field
units of the organization in the Civil Ministries/Departments have been
submitted to Ministry of Finance. The audit findings have been quantified on
the basis of financial implications and constitute an amount of Rs.85392.20

crore have been fixed anchoring the Fiscal Deficit target of 3% of respective

year-to-year flexibility for additional fiscal deficit to States for the period
2016-17 to 2019-20 to a maximum of 0.5% over and above the normal limit of 3%
in any given year to the States subject to the States maintaining the debt-GSDP
ratio within 25% and interest payments-revenue receipts ratio within 10% in the
previous year. However, the flexibility in availing the additional fiscal

pensioners in interacting with bank branches due to demonetization, the last
date of submission of Life Certificate has been extended to 15th Jan

informing pensioner through SMS of receipt of fresh Pension Payment
Order/Revision Cases from the PAO at CPAO and sending Pension Payment Order
