Gaps, loopholes and improvement ideas
- Not enforced Annual audits are not yet up to date. Section 13 requires the Institute's accounts to be audited by an auditor designated by the Auditor General. The Auditor General's 63rd report lists the Institute among fully government-owned bodies whose audits were outstanding for two fiscal years, 2080/81 and 2081/82. It said officials of bodies that do not provide their records and certified financial statements on time should be held responsible.वार्षिक लेखापरीक्षण समयमा भएको छैन। दफा १३ अनुसार प्रतिष्ठानको लेखापरीक्षण महालेखापरीक्षकले तोकेको लेखापरीक्षकबाट हुनुपर्छ। महालेखापरीक्षकको त्रिसट्ठीऔँ प्रतिवेदनमा प्रतिष्ठानको २०८०/८१ र २०८१/८२ गरी दुई आर्थिक वर्षको लेखापरीक्षण बक्यौता रहेको उल्लेख छ, र समयमा स्रेस्ता तथा प्रमाणित वित्तीय विवरण नबुझाउने संस्थाका पदाधिकारीलाई जिम्मेवार बनाउनुपर्ने भनिएको छ। Office of the Auditor General, Nepal · Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal OAG 63rd report, fully government-owned bodies section, audit arrears table, item 9, printed p. 837 (PDF p. 879); Act s. 13(2), p. 8
