The CAG is assisted by a number of officers and staff, who are appointed by the President on the recommendation of the CAG. The CAG’s office is located in New Delhi.
The CAG has a wide range of powers, including the power to inspect all government accounts, to call for information and documents, and to examine witnesses. The CAG’s reports are submitted to the President, who is required to lay them before Parliament.
