Practical Example
The Ministry of Agriculture is being audited for the PM-KISAN scheme. The Secretary nominates a Joint Secretary-rank officer as the nodal point for the CAG audit team. This officer coordinates data requests across the ministry's various divisions and state-level offices, ensures field offices cooperate during audit visits, and facilitates meetings between the audit team and relevant directors. This prevents the audit team from chasing individual officers across the organization.
