Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meetings

The Comptroller and Auditor General, after apprising the Prime Minister in compliance with the Rules of Business, submits the audit reports to the Honorable President of the Republic who shall cause them to be laid before the Parliament in accordance with Article 132 of the Constitution. The Auditor General's reports are discussed by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the Parliament.

The PAC deals with important observations and comments of the audit reports through threadbare scrutiny, simultaneously giving hearing to the Principal Accounting Officers (Secretaries of different ministries) and concerned officials. PAC findings include the responses of the ministries and executive agencies along with the recommendations of the Committee. PAC recommendations are usually accepted by the executive departments. OCAG provides necessary support to PAC in effective functioning.

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the 10th Parliament held the following meetings to discuss the status of the audit reports of various ministries and divisions:
