Sitharaman urges civil accounts officers to simplify Govt's annual accounts - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

Addressing the 49th Civil Accounts Day event here, Sitharaman lauded the Indian Civil Accounts Service (ICAS) officers, led by the Controller General of Accounts (CGA) for the "silent technological revolution" in which states are finding a lot more ease of operation and ease of getting their government business done by adopting the public financial management system (PFMS).

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday asked civil accounts services officials to work towards making the government's annual accounts more approachable and user-friendly.

She said that since a lot of digital integration has already taken place with the states, more research can be carried out based on the data set available with the CGA.
