National Academy of Audit & Accounts

The Indian Audit & Accounts Department was formed in 1860. In 1950 , when the Constitution came into force, the Auditor General was re-designed as the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.


For carrying out diverse functions, the comptroller & Auditor General of India is assisted by one of India"s oldest and premier services - the Indian Audit and Accounts Service.
 
Institutionalised training arrangements for IA&AS Officers were started in Shimla in 1950 at the IA&AS Training School, which is one of the oldest training institutions in the Country. It was upgraded on 28th February 1990, as the National Academy of Audit & Accounts.

The academy is celebrating its Diamond jubilee this year. 'Yarrows' where all IA&AS Officers from 1950 have lived during their training is featured on the cover.
