Para 17.1.5 — CAM

17.1.5 IA Management Team: Each Ministry/Department should also have an IA Management Team for a closer supervision of the IA functions of the Ministry/Department and to ensure quality assurance in audit engagements. The IA management team would be headed by the Chief Audit Executive and would comprise key functionaries of the Accounts and Audit Wings of the Ministry/Department. This would also serve as a forum for discussion to improve the quality of IA. The Management Team would meet regularly to discuss execution of approved Annual Audit Plan of the Ministry/Department, coordinate the work program of different audit teams and also to decide upon the approach to various audits. Guidance and Advisories to the audit teams would be issued by the Management Team as may be required. The Management Team may also discuss and decide upon ways to improve performance of IA in the individual audit engagements.
