Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina stressed upon the transparency and accountability in the public financial management. In this regard, she urged Comptroller & Auditor General of Bangladesh to reduce the backlog in audits. She said this when the CAG apprised her of Audit Reports on 18 February 2015. In reply, the CAG informed her that IT initiatives had been introduced to Audit Department and as a result, through digitization, the backlog has gone down compared with the past.
