What This Means
Stage IV is the final version of the Head-wise Appropriation Accounts, incorporating any corrections arising from the condensation process. After CGA notifies the Pr.CCAs/CCAs of additions or alterations made during condensation, they update the audited accounts accordingly. Three copies are then signed by the Chief Accounting Authority (Secretary). The Pr.CCA signs the enclosures. Five copies go to the Principal Audit Officer and one copy to CGA. This represents the definitive version of the accounts.

Key Points

- 2Must be signed by the Chief Accounting Authority (Secretary of the Ministry)
- 3Pr.CCA/CCA/CA signs the enclosures (statements, certificates)
- 4Five copies to Principal Director of Audit (one signed by Secretary, four attested by Pr.CCA) and one to CGA

Practical Example
After the CGA's office completes condensation, they notify the Ministry of Finance (Expenditure) that a minor correction was made to the explanation for a Rs 72 crore saving in the Agricultural Extension sub-head, based on an audit comment. The Pr.CCA updates the Head-wise Appropriation Accounts with this corrected explanation, gets the Secretary to sign three copies, attests the enclosures, and sends five copies to the Principal Director of Audit and one to CGA.
