The Controller and Auditor General (CAG) is in charge of the National Audit Office of Tanzania (NAOT), which is the highest auditing body in the United Republic of Tanzania. Article 143 of the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania enshrines its mandate. Sections 11 and 12 of the Public Audit Act and its Regulations, 2009, clearly outline the CAG’s authority and mission. The powers, functions and responsibilities of the Controller and Auditor General have been governed by three different constitutions enacted since Independence. The 1962 Constitution of the Republic of Tanganyika, the 1965 Interim Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania, and the 1977 Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania are the three constitutions in question. These three constitutions had explicitly stated the Constitutional mandate, powers, functions and responsibilities of the CAG as the controller of funds from the Consolidated Fund and auditing of the use of such funds. These constitutions had further elaborated on the powers of the CAG such as to have unrestricted access of books of accounts and any other information that are subject to audit. Moreover, this constitution have all along provided for independence of the CAG that when performing his function, he should not be subject to any order or direction from any Government Department or any person on any issue concerning such audit.
