ITDC INDIA EPRESS/ ITDC NEWS : A more than four-year-long nationwide operation in the office of the Comptroller and General (CAG) of India and its about 150 field offices across the country to go paperless will come to an end on Saturday.

All those bulky files of audit and accounting literature including detailed communications with the auditees will be reduced to the bin of history when from the new financial year on April 1, digitalization and paperless work will be the new mantra.

Officially launching the full digitisation of the audit process through the OIOS application on Friday, the CAG Girish Chandra Murmu said: “From tomorrow onwards, all new audit work in our institution will take place only through OIOS and physical paper-based workflow must cease.”

An enterprise wide end-to-end IT application, OIOS refers to One IAAD One System. It is a web-enabled solution with support for multiple languages with offline functionality and a mobile app.

A CAG source told THE WEEK: “The audit design including audit objectives to an actual audit, past reports, all documentation work will no longer have physical copies. Whatever comes in physical form will be scanned and stored. This will greatly enhance audit quality and accuracy besides leading to easy information sharing among all relevant auditors.”
