Audit pendency reduction directive mandates staged decreases and strict short-term rectification timelines with coordinated action and reporting.

Instruction directs expedited settlement of pending Revenue Audit objections and Internal Audit rectifications by enforcing existing time limits, treating rectificatory action as settlement without awaiting collection, consulting Accountants General to obtain outstanding replies, and requiring IAPs to prepare draft rectification orders. Commissioners must supervise staged reductions in pendency, submit monthly compliance reports, and ensure complete liquidation of internal audit rectifications by the prescribed terminal deadline while strictly adhering to the short rectification time limit.
