Para 7.3.60 — MSO (Audit)
Original Rule Text
7.3.60 No correction slip can be issued after the documents have been laid before the Legislature. Any errors noticed subsequently should be reported to the Comptroller and Auditor General with an explanation for the omission to detect them earlier.
# Reports on accounts of statutory corporations, autonomous bodies, etc.
What This Means
Once Audit Reports have been laid before the Legislature, no correction slips can be issued at all. Any errors discovered after tabling must be reported to the CAG along with an explanation for why they were not detected earlier. The matter then rests with the CAG's discretion.

Key Points
- 1Absolutely no correction slips after reports are laid before the Legislature

- 3An explanation for the oversight must accompany the report to CAG
- 4This is a stricter standard than the pre-tabling correction process
Practical Example
Two weeks after the Audit Report is tabled in the state Assembly, an opposition MLA points out that a table in Chapter III has transposed figures for two departments. The AG cannot issue a correction slip. Instead, the AG reports the error to the CAG, explains that it was a typesetting error that was missed during final proofreading, and awaits the CAG's guidance on how to handle it.
