The Comptroller and Auditor General of India is an important constitutional office established under the provisions of the Constitution of India. The CAG is responsible for auditing the accounts related to all expenditures from the Consolidated Fund of India, as well as the state and union territory governments. This includes audits of various government departments and agencies to ensure the proper and efficient use of public resources. The role of the CAG in India is crucial in promoting accountability, transparency, and good governance in the financial operations of the government. The office of the CAG plays a significant role in providing assurance to the Parliament and state legislatures regarding financial prudence and propriety in the government's financial transactions. The CAG's reports are presented to the President or Governors, who then lay them before the Parliament or state legislatures. These reports are important tools for the government and the public to assess the performance and effectiveness of various government programs and policies. The CAG also acts as a catalyst for improving the financial management and accountability of government entities. In this research, we will delve deeper into the specific roles and responsibilities of the CAG in India, its historical evolution, and its significant contributions to the governance and financial management of the country.
