5 questions about Subordinate Audit/Accounts Service under Comptroller & Auditor General
SAS is the departmental examination for the Subordinate Audit/Accounts Service under the Comptroller & Auditor General of India. On RankRacer it is mapped to 7 subjects and 34 topics spanning service rules, financial rules, office procedure, the RTI Act, the Constitution and Parliament, and Audit & Accounts.
Five topics: the CAG (DPC) Act, which sets out the duties and powers of the Comptroller & Auditor General, Government Accounting Rules, the Generic Internal Audit Manual, the Receipt Audit Manual, and the Expenditure Audit Manual. Of the five departmental exams mapped on RankRacer, only CAG SAS and CGA AAO carry this subject.
Seven: Service Rules (7 topics), Financial Rules (6 topics), Office Procedure (5 topics), RTI Act (5 topics), Constitution & Parliament (6 topics), Audit & Accounts (5 topics), and General English. General English is listed as a subject but has no topic breakdown mapped yet.
Today it is not. Both exams carry the same seven subjects and the same 34 topics in RankRacer's data, because both are built from the same set of central government rule-books. Where the two services' notified syllabi actually diverge, follow the official notification — this map is a study index, not a substitute for it.
In the official notification issued for the cycle you intend to apply to. Eligibility (feeder grade, qualifying service, age), the number and marking of papers, and the exam calendar are all set there and change from cycle to cycle. This page covers only the syllabus map — RankRacer publishes a date or a marking rule only when it can cite an official notification for it.
