The collaboration aims to strengthen the audit framework while developing customised geo-spatial solutions leveraging AI, machine learning, and big data analytics for audit-related projects.
It seeks to provide technical guidance for the integration of geo-spatial tools into audit methodologies and conduct joint research in geo-spatial analysis, remote sensing, and satellite image analytics for audit applications.
It will also focus on identifying and developing case studies related to geo-spatial applications in audit, as well as organising training and capacity-building programmes for CAG officials.
The CAG office further said the partnership reflects apex auditor's commitment to incorporate technological solutions and holistic skill development in auditing, further reinforcing its role in ensuring financial accountability and governance in India.
