The Committee on Public Enterprises, popularly known as COPE, had been established on 21st July, 1979 in our Parliament. The objective of the Committee from its inception had been to ensure compliance of financial discipline. According to the mandate given to the COPE, in terms of Standing Order 126 (2) the duty of the committee is to examine the accounts of Public Corporations or other undertakings vested under any written law in the Government laid before Parliament along with the reports of the Auditor General. The COPE has come in to the limelight recently in 2007 and again in 2013 after six years owing to several reports presented in Parliament highlighting issues of corruption, fraud, misappropriation, mismanagement etc in approximately 275 institutions such as corporations, statutory boards and other business undertakings vested with the government.
