ISLAMABAD: The Finance Division has directed all principal accounting officers to ensure reconciliation of expenditures and receipts on a monthly basis with the office of Accountant General of Pakistan Revenue (AGPR) on a priority basis so as to avoid any audit objections.

An office memorandum to this effect issued by the Finance Division Budget Wing stated the office of AGPR has requested the Finance Division to direct the PAOs to ensure timely reconciliation of expenditure with AGPR, so that any discrepancies in the accounts can be rectified in a timely manner.
