Store Audit
The audit of stores accounts is undertaken to ensure that all activities related to the purchase, receipt, custody, issue, condemnation, sale, and stock-taking of stores are carried out in strict compliance with the departmental regulations laid down by the Railway Board, as specified in the Indian Railway Manuals and Codes.
This audit also aims to verify that adequate internal controls are in place to prevent mismanagement, pilferage, or misuse of stores. Furthermore, it assesses whether the prescribed procedures are being implemented efficiently and economically, thereby promoting accountability and transparency in all store-related operations.
