Complains to ministry about co not co-operating with auditors due to differences over scope of the audit

The Comptroller and Auditor General’s (CAG) audit of the controversial KG-D6 gas fields operated by Reliance Industries (RIL) has again cast a shadow on pending approvals for the block’s budget and investment plans. The Director General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) has refused to issue approval letters for the block’s work plans and budget since 2010-11. A letter written by CAG to the oil ministry on January 17 said that Reliance was not co-operating with the auditors due to differences over the scope of the audit, official sources said.
