The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India has raised serious concerns over financial mismanagement in the Maharashtra State Commission for Protection of Child Rights for the financial year 2018-19, citing weak internal controls and accounting lapses, reported the PTI.

In its audit report tabled on Tuesday, the CAG pointed out that interest amounting to Rs 10.23 lakh earned on government grants was required to be returned to the state exchequer as per rules, but the commission instead accounted for it as its own income. However, the commission instead recorded this amount as its own income, in violation of established norms, the news agency reported.
