Para 7.2.14 — MSO (Audit)
Original Rule Text
7.2.14 When it is decided to withdraw an objection once raised, either on reconsideration or in the light of information made available subsequently, the disbursing officer or any other authority to whom the objection was originally addressed should be informed forthwith so that he can keep a note of the withdrawal of the objection.

What This Means
When the Audit Office decides to withdraw an objection that was previously raised — whether based on reconsideration or new information — it must immediately inform the disbursing officer or other authority to whom the objection was originally communicated. This ensures the concerned officer can update their own records and is no longer burdened by a withdrawn objection.

Practical Example
The Audit Office raised an objection against a pay bill, claiming an allowance was paid without proper sanction. Two weeks later, the department provides a copy of the original sanction order that was not available during audit. The audit team verifies the sanction, decides to withdraw the objection, and immediately sends a formal withdrawal letter to the disbursing officer so he can remove the objection from his pending items.
