Unable to access RIL’s books for two years for auditing the government’s gas contract with the Mukesh Ambani-led firm, audit institution Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has sought the Petroleum Ministry's help in the matter.
The Comptroller and Auditor General has written to the ministry as it has not been able to access the accounts of RIL to conduct the audit of the government's production-sharing contract with the company for Krishna-Godavari basin gas, a top official associated with the matter said. The ministry, in turn, has favoured a meeting “very soon” between the CAG and the contractor, RIL, the official added.
