Importance of Audit
Conducting audits for SMCs, CRCs, and MRCs is essential for several reasons. Firstly, audits help to ensure that financial transactions are recorded accurately and in compliance with relevant regulations. They also provide an opportunity to identify any discrepancies or irregularities that may require further investigation. Additionally, audits help to instill trust and confidence in the education system, as stakeholders can be assured that funds are being utilized effectively.
