Information Technology has become a strategic resource to Government
Accounting with the support of National Informatics Centre (NIC) which is
the nodal agency for providing software support to computerize several
functions in various Ministries & Departments of the Government of India.
The Office of the Controller General of Accounts has been taking NIC's
support since 1978 for adapting Information Technology to support
Government accounting functions. Several applications have been
developed in the last two decades for computerization of accounting
processes at various levels of accounting units of Government of India,
viz. Pay and Accounts Offices, Principal Accounts Office (CCAs/CAs),
Controller General of Accounts.
NIC team at the CGA office has got the opportunity to interact with the
Office of the CGA for modernization of audit processes. This positive
interaction resulted into deployment of NIC resources optimally for the
design & development of PAO-2000 to align Information Technology with
business rules of PAO's and to bring efficiency in various processes
performed in the PAO offices.Version 1.0 of the software was officially
released on 17th September, 2001. Since then, several Pay & Accounts
Offices of different Ministries all over India have started implementation of
