Public sector audit requirements refer to the standards and regulations governing the examination and evaluation of financial statements and operations of government entities and agencies. These audits ensure transparency, accountability, and compliance with laws and regulations, providing assurance that public funds are used effectively and efficiently. Such requirements often include adherence to specific auditing standards, such as those set by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in the U.S. or international frameworks like the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI). Ultimately, public sector audits aim to enhance public trust in government financial reporting and performance.

Internal audit in the public sector serves as a critical mechanism for ensuring accountability, transparency, and effective governance. It evaluates the efficiency and effectiveness of government operations, assesses compliance with laws and regulations, and identifies areas for improvement. By providing objective assessments, internal audits help mitigate risks, enhance performance, and ensure that public resources are used responsibly. Ultimately, this function supports public trust and confidence in governmental institutions.
In India this type of HR Audit is a must in each and every public sector organisation and Government organisation or Institutions. So far we are not practicing this exercise.
