Before establishment of the office of the Principal Director of Audit, Kuala Lumpur, the diplomatic missions, offices of Indian PSUs and other Government of India establishments in East Asia, South East Asia and Oceania region including Fiji and Papua New Guinea were audited by the Director General of Audit at New Delhi.
- As of October 2019, the audit jurisdiction of this office was 49 units covering 26 Missions/Posts, 20 PSUs and 03 India Tourism Offices spread over 16 countries.
- Based on the order on audit jurisdiction issued by Headquarters in October 2019, the jurisdiction of this office was revised to 57 units, covering 30 Missions/Posts, 25 PSUs units and 02 India Tourism Offices spread over 19 countries of East Asia and South East Asia, including Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Philippines.
- After closure of Air India offices in the region due to divestment of the company (January 2022), and inclusion of three units of BEL (Singapore, Myanmar and Vietnam), the audit universe again changed to 50 units.
- Further, in February 2023, six units of China and Hong Kong were brought under the audit jurisdiction of India Audit Office, Kuala Lumpur. However, as of 01 April 2023, the GoI tourism offices have been asked to shut their operations leading to closure of three ITOs in Tokyo, Beijing and Singapore.
Thus, as on 01 April 2023, the status of units in our jurisdiction stands at 56 Units covering 34 Missions/Posts, 22 PSUs units offices spread over 20 countries of the East Asia and South East Asia, including Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, China and Hong Kong.
Out of these 56 units under the jurisdiction of this office, the audit of 33 units has been planned during the current Annual Audit Plan.
