What This Means
After the inspecting officer submits the Inspection Report, it goes through scrutiny and editing at AG headquarters. The Group Officer approves the edited report, which is then formally issued to the head of the audited office with a copy to the next higher authority. The headquarters sections track subsequent replies to the objections and monitor their settlement.

Practical Example
The inspecting officer submits a draft report after auditing a Sub-Divisional Office. The OAD Section at headquarters reviews it, corrects factual inconsistencies, strengthens the wording of a major observation, and removes a finding that lacked sufficient evidence. The Group Officer approves the revised version. The final report is issued to the Sub-Divisional Officer with a copy to the District Collector. The OAD Section then monitors whether replies are received within the prescribed 30-day timeline.
