NEW DELHI: The government on Friday said it has not yet taken a decision on making the Comptroller and Auditor General a multi-member body.

Responding to a question in Parliament, minister of state for finance Namo Narain Meena said chairman of the committee looking into Commonwealth Games irregularities V K Shunglu had suggested a three-member body to bring in greater transparency in the CAG's operation.

Shunglu had suggested that the CAG should discuss its annual audit plan with the Public Accounts Committee and the CAG report should be provided to the departmental standing committees to facilitate discussion of issues concerning the department.

The CAG told the government that the Constitution did not provide for an oversight role for the PAC on the CAG's audit planning. "Autonomy and independence of the CAG in the preparation of the annual audit plan is critical to his ability to faithfully discharge his constitutional mandate," CAG had said.

It also said that once the CAG reports are laid on the table of Parliament, these are available in the public domain. It is the prerogative of the departmental standing committees to take note of or discuss the audit findings.
