The audit conducted by the Comptroller and Audit General of India (CAG) can be broadly categorized as performance audit, compliance audit and finance audit. Environmental auditing in India is conducted within the broad framework of performance audit and compliance audit. Many environmental auditing have been completed by the Supreme Auditing Authority of India over the last few years. One of the core categories of environmental auditing is waste management, in which we lag. Seventy tonne’s of bio medical wasted are generated and discharged in India every year. The government has issued several guidelines for the appropriate disposal if the biomedical wastes which many hospitals deny to follow.
