It is an essential instrument to enforce accountability of executive to legislature by presenting fair and proper audit so that any fraud and embezzlement can be detected, and thereby probity and good governance can be ensured. This is possible only when the appointment of the C&AG will be made by constitutionally and legally fixed proper criteria to ensure its impartiality and independence from the executive and legislature, with certain degree of accountability to the latter. - Reproduced.  aAccountability92384  aKumar, Shashi Bhushan92385  aIndian Journal of Public Administration  aComptroller and Auditor General  2ddccAR  00102ddc40709381768aIIPAbIIPAd2019-02-23h64(3), Sep, 2018: p.454-472.pAR118990r2019-02-23yAR
