Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad.
Sir,
Sub: – Posting of Auditors / Sr.Auditors in all the field parties - Request – Regarding.
() () ()
I am directed to bring the following issue for your kind notice for an early redressal of our grievance and necessary action.
As you are aware that most of the field parties in this Office are being operated without an Auditor / Sr.Auditor in it and the duties of Auditors / Sr.Auditors are being discharged by Assistant Audit Officers in the party. Traditionally the composition of field party used to be consisting of one Audit Officer / Sr.Audit Officer, two Assistant Audit Officers / Section Officers and one or two Auditors / Sr.Auditors. Of late, majority of the field parties do not have Auditors / Sr.Auditors.
As against the sanctioned strength of 815, the men-in-position in the cadre of Auditors / Sr.Auditors is only 391 indicating acute shortage of Auditors / Sr.Auditors. Among the existing Auditors / Sr.Auditors 96% are posted in headquarters duty and only 4% are being sent on field duty on a selective basis based on Roster. This situation had left lot of discretion with the Group / Branch Officers, with consequential ill effects. If lack of adequate staff is a hindrance to posting Auditors / Sr.Auditors on field duty, the issue of filling up of vacancies may be taken up separately. But inadequate staff cannot deny an Auditor / Sr.Auditor of an opportunity of getting exposed to field duties, who already suffer because of limited scope of field duty.
As per the system in vogue 80% of Audit personnel are supposed to be on field duty and 20% have to be in headquarters office. Even though the vacancies exist in the cadre of Assistant Audit Officers, this composition of 80:20 ratio is more or less being maintained with marginal variance. But, in the case of Auditors / Sr.Auditors this principle is given a large-scale departure and only 4% Auditors / Sr.Auditors are being sent on field duties. This situation had led to lot of heartburn and gave rise to feeling of discrimination among Auditors / Sr.Auditors.
Thus, the presence of Auditors / Sr.Auditors is being nearly fully compromised in field duty, which is the primary function of Audit where as the compromisation levels in the supporting sections like Headquarter / Co-ordination sections is too low. As a result, the Assistant Audit Officers are being forced to perform the duties of Auditors / Sr.Auditors, which in turn burdens the Audit Officers / Sr.Audit Officers, which results in reduction of quality of Inspection Reports / Audit Reports.
Therefore, I request the Principal Accountant General (Civil Audit) to review the existing system and arrange to post at least one Auditor / Sr.Auditor in all the field parties.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Sd/-
