THE Comptroller General of the United States of America, Government
Accountability Office (GAO), Mr. Gene Dodaro, called on the CAG of India, Mr.
Vinod Rai at the CAG Headquarters today to discuss issues of common interest and
stressed the need for mutual cooperation which would be for mutual benefit. In
particular, Mr. Dodaro was appreciative of the Indian CAG's efforts to train its
own officers and the infrastructure set up for facilitating the same. He
appreciated their contribution in not only upgrading the professional knowledge
and awareness in the INTOSAI Community but in different UN bodies. He commended
the offer of the CAG of India to commit its own Training Institutes not only for
South-South cooperation but also for assisting Supreme Audit Institutions which
do not have adequate professional capability.
Mr. Rai assured Mr. Dodaro and
the Donor Steering Committee that the training facilities available with the
Indian Audit and Accounts Department would be available for training of
officials of the INTOSAI Community.
