 Auditor Exam Details and working environment 

Office of the Comptroller General of Accounts (378 posts pending examination)

How to prepare for Preli Exam  -

• Pre-examination consists of 80 MCQ questions including:

- 20 questions in English.

- 20 questions in Bengali.

- 20 questions Maths.

- 20 Questions General Knowledge. (There are also questions from Science and ICT.)

• First of all, this post has a different hype, so the competition is fierce. Moreover, the example of 100% fair recruitment shown by the current CGA Sir and concerned officials has added a different dimension.

Those who came for the post of CGA Auditor (Batch-2022) in the last recruitment (538 recommended, 494 joined) were undoubtedly top level preparers for the job market. BCS, Bank (AD, Senior Officer) and many (first-second class) posts of government jobs are also innumerable. So take your preparation to that level.

• Second word 'Don't buy any short cut book in the market, the days of getting a job by reading these are over.'

Preparation of English:

• Read BCS past question solutions along with questions from various government exams conducted in the last 2-3 years. You can buy a BCS pre-preparation book of your choice as a helpful book. Like Professor's, Assurance etc. Although there are not very difficult questions here, you need to have a clear understanding of grammar, along with literature (previous must be read). (Parts of speech‚ gender‚ number‚ preposition‚ idioms‚ words) etc. are very important!

Preparation of Bengal:

• Here also read BCS past question solutions along with the questions from various government exams conducted in the last 2-3 years. As a helpful book you can buy a 'BCS prelim preparation book' of your choice. Give more importance to the grammar part. For example: words (opposites, synonyms), sentences (forms, expressions in one word, idioms), spelling or sentence correction, conjunctions and past questions are enough for literature!

Auditor 11th grade post, but demand for 10th grade is ongoing. (This claim has been pending for a long time, but a good decision may come at any time.)

• You can give preference for posting after receiving final recommendation. There is a good opportunity to get a job in your own district or upazila.

• Auditors are essentially watchdogs for public finances. Most of the budget is spent through the CGA office (this year budget of 7 lakh 64 thousand crore rupees is coming), in that case there is a golden opportunity to play a role in ensuring better use of people's tax money.

Your service recipient will be 'All Government Servants, Honorary Pensioners, Government Offices and Contractors working with the Office or anyone else.'

• The nature of work varies depending on the posting in CGA office, DCA, CAFO, DAFO, UAO etc. wings. However, there is no such opportunity to serve the work as one's own.

• After two years there will be an opportunity to take the 'SAS' exam.

By clearing the two parts of this departmental examination you will be nominated for the post of Super (10th grade) and after a certain period subject to vacancies, you will be promoted to the post of Accounts Officer (9th grade). This post is 'upazila accounting office head', that means you are the boss. After that, there is an opportunity to become DAFO (Grade 6) subject to certain deadlines and at the discretion of the authorities. Many become Deputy Directors after passing SAS at the earliest. There is a possibility to go up to 4th grade maximum.

The added benefit here is that you can gain a lot of fame through performance. You can build rapport with DC-SP-Judge sir for efficiency and as per their requirements (if in district). Even the head of any government office, doctor-engineer can build a good relationship with everyone. This is undoubtedly an added advantage.
