STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

The present accounting system applicable to most Ministries and Departments is essentially external to financial management functions in that payments are made by the treasuries and accounts are compiled by the Audu and Accounts offices under the control of the Comptroller and Auditor-General on the basis of initial and subsidiary accounts received by them from the treasuries. This system worked fairly well when Governmental business was limited. With the increase in the volume and variety of Governmental business and the continual step-up of deve- lopmental outlays, the system has proved inadequate to the administra- tion's tasks and separation of accounts from audit had to be thought of.

2. Under thei first proviso to section 10(1) of the Comptroller and Auditor General's (Duties, Powers and Conditions of Service) Act, 1971, the President in respect of the accounts of the Union may, after consul- tation with the Comptroller and Auditor-Gelneral, by order relieve him from the responsibility for compiling the accounts of any particular service or department of the Union. As the Comptroller and Auditor- General is to be relieved of the responsibility for compiling the accounts of all the Ministries of the Union, it was! considered necessary to amend suitably the proviso to section 10(1) referred to above.

3. So far as the accounts of a State are concerned, it is, however, necessary to provide for prior approval of the President before the Governor of the State issues an order relieving the Comptroller and Auditor-Ge)neral of the responsibility of compiling the accounts of the State in order to make sure that due provision is made by the State Government for absorption of the employees of the Indian Audit and Accounts Department under the State Government and for safeguarding their scales of pay and other conditions of service on absorption.

4. In order to facilitate the separation of accounts from audit in some Ministries with effect from 1st April, 1976 the Comptroller and Auditor- General's (Duties, Powers and Conditions of Service) Amendment Ordi- nance, 1976 (1 of 1976) was promulgated by the President on 1st March, 1976.

5. When the Comptroller and Auditor-General is relieved of the responsibility for compiling the accounts completely of the Union or of a State, it is but logical to relieve him of the responsibility for the prepa- ration and submission of annual finance accounts of the Union or of the State concerned showing the annual receipts and disbursements under the respective heads of account For this purpose, section 11 of the principal Act will require suitable amendment.

6. The Bill seeks to replace the Comptroller and Auditor-General's (Duties, Powers and Conditions; of Service) Amendment Ordinance, 1976, and includes the amendment referred to in paragraph 5.

NEW DELHI;

The 11th March, 19T6. C. SUBRAMANIAM.

FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM

Clause 2 of the Bill proposes to substitute two new provisos lor the existing first proviso to sub-section (1) of section 10 of the Comptroller and Auditor-General's (Duties, Powers and Conditions of Service) Act, 1971. The new first proviso enables the President by order, to relieve the Comptroller and Auditor-General from the responsibility for compil- ing the accounts of the Union. Clause 3 of the Bill proposes to inseVt two provisos in section 11 of the said Act. The new first proviso enables the President, by order, to relieve the Comptroller and Auditor-General from the responsibility for the preparation and submission of the accounts relating to annual receipts and disbursements for the purpose¹ of the Union or of a Union territory having a Legislative Assembly. When orders are issued relieving the Comptroller and Auditor-General of the said responsibilities, additional posts will be required in the various Ministries, Departments, etc., of the Government for assuming the said responsibilities. These additional posts are proposed to be filled up only by persons transferred from the Indian Audit and Accounts Department. Accordingly, no additional expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of India will be involved on this account merely as a; result of the transfer of the accounting functions from the Comptroller and Auditor-General to the Minisrties, Departments, etc.

2. Mostly, the existing office accommodation including furniture will be utilised for the persons so transferred. However, it may be necessary to provide some additional accommodation in some places as a result of departmentalisation of accounts. For this purpose, it is estimated that an expenditure of not more than Rs. 15 lakhs per annum is likely to be incurred. To meet some urgent requirements of additional furniture, typewriters and other office equipment, a non-recurring expenditure of Rs. 5 lakhs Is anticipated.

MEMORANDUM REGARDING DELEGATED LEGISLATION

Clause 4 of the Bill seeks to amend clause (b) of sub-section (2) of section 22 of the Comptroller and Auditor-General's (Duties, Powers and Conditions of Se'rvice) Act, 1971 so as to enable the Central Government to make rules also regarding the manner in which the accounts of the Union or of a State shall be compiled after the Comptroller and Auditor- General has been relieved from the responsibility of compiling such ac- counts. The manner of such compilation is a matter of procedure or detail. The delegation of legislative power is thus of a normal character.

Memorandum explaining the modification contained in the Bill to replace

the Comptroller and Auditor-General's (Duties, Powers and Condi-

tions of Service) Amendment Ordinance, 1976.

Clause 3 of the Bill seeks to insert two provisos in section 11 of the principal Act so as to enable the President or the Governor of a State to relieve the Comptroller and Auditor-General of the responsibility for the preparation and submission of annual finance accounts of the Union or of the State concerned showing the annual receipts and disbursements under the respective heads of account after the Comptroller and Auditor- General is relieved of the responsibility for compiling the accounts com- pletely of the Union or of a State under section 10 ofl the principal Act. This is a consequential amendment.
