Chapter III is based on the Appropriation Accounts of the State and reviews the appropriations and allocative priorities of the State Government and reports on deviations from constitutional provisions relating to budgetary management.

Chapter IV provides a broad perspective on the quality of accounts rendered by various authorities of the State Government and status of compliance with prescribed financial rules, procedures and directives.

Chapter V provides an overview on the financial performance of State Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), investment of the State Government in PSUs, budgetary support to PSUs, position of submission of accounts by PSUs, return on Equity and capital employed etc.
