Executive Board of Management

The Executive Board of Management (EBOM) provides leadership to the ANAO in achieving the objectives and strategies outlined in our Corporate Plan, and assists the Auditor-General to meet his statutory responsibilities under both the Auditor-General Act 1997 and the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997. EBOM is responsible for setting and monitoring our strategic directions, oversighting key business opportunities and risks, and our budget.

EBOM generally meets each month. At 30 June 2008 the membership of the Board comprised:

  • Ian McPhee, Auditor-General (Chair);
  • Steve Chapman, Deputy Auditor-General;
  • Peter White, Group Executive Director, Performance Audit Services;
  • Matt Cahill, Group Executive Director, Performance Audit Services;
  • Warren Cochrane, Group Executive Director, Assurance Audit Services;
  • Michael Watson, Group Executive Director, Assurance Audit Services;
  • Dianne Rimington, Group Executive Director, Corporate Support Group; and
  • Anthony Howatson, Chief Finance Officer.

The Auditor-General established three sub-committees, details of which are set out below.
