The setting up of the committee comes amid efforts to streamline the military procurement procedures and focus on enhancing the country’s overall combat readiness.

“The Ministry of Defence has set up an institutional mechanism comprising of an apex committee with the defence secretary as chairman to conduct a performance and efficiency audit into various aspects of its activities,” the ministry said in a statement.

“This kind of audit is expected to provide valuable inputs to the top management of the ministry of specific shortcomings, if any, in planning and execution of projects, and suggest systemic improvements in internal controls, soundness of financial procedures, identification of risk factors, etc,” it said.

The ministry described formation of the committee as a “major shift” from the existing transaction-based compliance audit to carry out an outcome-based performance and efficiency audit.

“The broad areas that have been identified for the conduct of performance and efficiency audit include defence capital procurements, provisioning, logistics, inventory levels, maintenance of platforms/assets, role and performance of authority holding sealed particulars etc,” the ministry said.

It said the apex committee can also recommend any other specific area for performance and efficiency audit.
