11.1 Accountant General should take steps to clear the outstanding balances and to settle any discrepancies noticed in them as promptly as possible and to obtain acceptance of correctness of balances from the person or persons by whom they are required to be accepted under the rules of the Government concerned. No such acceptances are necessary in regard to ordinary advances, but it should be ascertained how far they are believed to be really recoverable.

Note :- The Personal responsibility of the Accountant General for the Appropriation and Finance Accounts extends also to the work connected with verification of balances which should be completed in time for inclusion in the Finance Accounts.
