Government auditors to report irregularities directly to A-G

KUALA LUMPUR: Government auditors have been given the green light to report irregularities directly to the Auditor-General under a new measure to tackle corruption.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Paul Low Seng Kuan said while auditors would still work directly under the director-generals of their respective ministries, they have now been given direct access to the AG to ensure accountability.
