Unfolded: How The Audit Trail Heralded Financial Accountability And International Supreme Audit Inst by P. Sesh Kumar [Paperback]

UNFOLDED: How the Audit Trail Heralded Financial Accountability and International Supreme Audit Institutions traces the history and evolution of financial accountability and public auditing across civilizations, from ancient Mesopotamia to modern nation-states. It examines how societies developed mechanisms to monitor public funds, prevent misuse, and build trust in governance. The book culminates with an in-depth look at India's auditing framework, particularly the role of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), using major public-sector scandals and audit interventions to illustrate the continuing importance of independent oversight.
