CAG to submit report on CWG in 3 months

New Delhi : The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India will submit its audit report on the recently concluded Commonwealth Games (CWG) within three months, said a top official here on Monday.

?We will complete the audit process and submit the report in 3 months. It?s going to be a gigantic task, where at least 20 different institutions will be involved in the process,? said CAG chief Vinod Rai.

?It?s very important that the audit has some practical utility. While auditing, we will not only try to see if the expenditures were incurred correctly, but, will also evaluate if the actual purpose has been fulfilled,? Rai said.

He further said: ?We will also see if there has been the optimal utilization of the funds; what we call, value-for-money.?

?It will be a very comprehensive audit where all aspects and institutions of the Games will be evaluated. It will give a very practical orientation to all processes.?

?The audit report will be very confidential and only be shared with the Parliament,? the CAG chief added.

Earlier, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit had hinted at corruption in the CWG Organising Committee, which was headed by Suresh Kalmadi, and said no one should get away with it.

While the Games concluded successfully and without any untoward incident and the foreign guests departed with a feel-good taste of Indian culture and hospitality, the shame the country was subjected to ahead of the Games was not forgotten with much of the finger pointing towards Kalmadi for the glitches.
