• findings of audits should be made known to media and public too
    • increased accountability of government via CAG
    • also more checks on work of CAG itself
  • criticism of overreach when audit widens its horizons shouldn’t be met with undercutting wings of auditors
    • rather, standards should be enforced
    • audits should be performed carefully
  • CAG has potential to be a forceful authority and should make full use of that potential for positive transformation
    • eg. TN Seshan transformed Election Commission using relevant constitutional and statutory provisions
    • N Vittal made CVC stronger than earlier
    • CAG appointees should also work to make the office stronger and effective
  • process of selection of CAG should be open, objective and credible
  • CAG be provided more personnel and resources to carry out audits of private entities involved with government programmesw
