New Delhi, November 4: Deepna Gokulram, a 2006-batch officer of the Indian Audit and Accounts Service, has been empanelled to hold Joint Secretary or equivalent-level positions in the Central Government.
What the empanelment means
The decision places her among officers eligible for consideration for assignments at this level. Empanelment is distinct from appointment to a particular ministry: a specific posting requires a separate order.
Financial oversight experience
The IA&AS is a Group A Central Civil Service associated with government audit and accounts. Its work covers scrutiny of public expenditure and financial accountability.
The development adds to the latest personnel updates concerning senior assignments at the Centre. Details of any subsequent departmental posting should be read separately from the empanelment decision.
