| Author/s: | Vinod Rai |
| Abstract: | When Audit Matters: CAG Interventions That Made a Difference offers a compelling re-examination of public audit as a force for institutional strengthening and governance reform, rather than merely a mechanism for fault-finding or compliance. Bringing together contributions from experienced government auditors, the volume presents real-world case studies across sectors such as infrastructure, finance, environment, social welfare and public service delivery, illustrating how evidence-based audits can lead to corrective action, policy recalibration and stronger administrative systems.
The book highlights the evolving role of India’s Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) in promoting transparency, accountability and better governance outcomes. Through analytical insights and first-hand accounts, it demonstrates how professional judgement and rigorous auditing practices can improve procedures, strengthen controls and support democratic accountability. Accessible yet rigorous, this volume will be of interest to policymakers, public administrators, auditors, scholars and anyone interested in the role of institutions in enhancing state capacity and public trust. |
