The project requires CGG to comprehensively revise the treasury code, financial rules and budget manual, and to provide a roadmap to modernize and strengthen internal audit function in the government. CGG has firstly studied the existing organization structure of the internal audit function in GOB, the skills and capacity of the internal audit staff, the working conditions in the main office and divisional offices, the perception of others about internal audit and so on. They have visited the main office in Patna and the divisional office in Gaya. After identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the system, a road map has been prepared for strengthening the internal audit in the government. 2013-03-26T16:47:58Z 2013-03-26T16:47:58Z 2012-01 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2012/01/16361082/india-strategic-plan-strengthening-internal-audit-government-bihar http://hdl.handle.net/10986/12929 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Accounting and Auditing Assessment (ROSC) Economic & Sector Work South Asia India
