Accountability and transparency matter to people as never before. The level of public scrutiny on usage of government funds and delivery of services has become intense. Strong accountability mechanisms are imperative for ensuring efficient delivery of the various development and welfare programmes. In a social welfare state like India, where substantial part of the total Gross Domestic Product is spent by the State on delivery of public services, it is paramount that action of the executive is transparent and strong systems exist to ensure proper and optimal use of resources. The Institution of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India plays an important role in this process by providing an independent oversight mechanism. It is a critical link in the chain of public accountability. Audit plays a significant part in our democratic system of government by holding the government accountable to the citizen for the stewardship of public funds.

The increasing complexity of the public sector environment has also presented challenges to audit. It is vitally important to respond adequately to meet the expectations of people and the requirements of Parliament. The aim should be to provide stimulus for better management of resource and in imporivng delivery of government`s programmes. Audit must remain proactive in assisting the Parliament and the government to strengthen the accountability mechanism and add value to the public sector. The publication of the book `Contemporary Issues in Public accountability and Audit` by the Institute of Public Auditors of India provides valuable inputs in the above direction. It brings out some systematic issues and provides potential solutions to existing challenges to good governance. The efforts made by the eminent personalities in sharing their ideas and insight are commendable. ISBN 9788131316399
