The Third Quarter District Audit Management Committee Meeting for the year 2026 was held today (30.09.2026) at the Auditorium of the Kegalle District Secretariat, under the chairmanship of Kegalle District Secretary Mr. K. G. S. Nishantha.

During the Audit Management Committee Meeting, several matters were discussed, including the matters discussed at the Sub-Committee, follow-up of matters discussed at previous Audit and Management Committee meetings, consideration of the Auditor General’s Summarized Audit Reports for the years 2024 and 2025, follow-up of the progress in implementing the recommendations of the Committee on Public Accounts, follow-up of internal audit activities, follow-up of audit queries raised by the Auditor General, and operational reviews.

In addition, attention was drawn to the issues that have arisen in the implementation of development projects. It was proposed that, in implementing future projects, proper follow-up mechanisms should be established to accurately identify the benefits and ensure that the intended objectives are achieved.

The Committee also emphasized the importance of closely monitoring the progress of projects in relation to the financial allocations made through the Treasury. As only approximately three months remain until the end of the year, it was stressed that the progress of development projects for which allocations have been made for 2026 should be closely monitored and accelerated.
