The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) has invited applications for empanelment of chartered accountant firms/LLPs for the year 2019-20.

Those empanelled will be appointed as auditors in government companies as prescribed under the Companies Act 2013.

Empanelment of audit firms is also proposed to be done for auditor appointment in autonomous bodies, official sources said.

Applications will have to be filed online and an online acknowledgement letter can be generated. Firms failing to generate online acknowledgement letter will not be considered for empanelment, the CAG has said.

Also, firms/ LLPs will be required to submit a print out of the acknowledgement letter generated online and also hard copies of the documents in support of their online applications by February 28, 2019.
