Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment was directed to provide certified copies of audit paras if included in the audit reports laid by the Auditor General of Pakistan before Public Accounts Committee for Financial Year 2016-17, Financial Year 2017-18 and Financial Year 2018-19. Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment was also directed to take immediate steps to proactively share through the web site all categories of information mentioned in Section 5 of the Right of Access to Information Act 2017 and submit the compliance report to the commission by 03/03/2020.
The commission observed that the benefits of proactive disclosure of audit reports can hardly be exaggerated. It will not only be cost-effective but will also save time of the commission and that of federal public bodies in responding to appeals and information requests of citizens pertaining to audit reports.
