In the absence of UCs, there is no assurance that funds disbursed have been used for the intended purpose." "Moreover, high pendency of UCs is fraught with the risk of embezzlement, misappropriation, and diversion of funds," the report said. The CAG further noted, "Despite the requirement of submitting Detailed Contingent (DC) Bills against the advance money withdrawn through Abstract Contingent (AC) Bills, DC Bills against 22,130 AC bills of Rs 9,205.76 crore were pending for submission as on 31 March 2024." Live Events "Non-submission of DC bills within the prescribed period breaches financial discipline and enhances the risk of misappropriation of public money," the report stated. As per the report, "Compliance with prevailing rules and codal provisions is meant to ensure control and accountability in accounting and financial reporting. Non-compliance and deviations impact the quality of accounting and financial reporting adversely." "Non-timely submission of UCs against grants; non-submission of DC bills against AC bills; and non-supply of details of expenditure from SNAs have impacted the quality of accounts adversely," the report further stated.
