Areas Of Focus For The Coming Year
We expect 2007–08 to be another demanding year and we have identified a number of key areas on which to focus our efforts. Specifically, we aim to:
- Deliver a range of timely and relevant products on topics that provide the greatest opportunity for improvement in administration across the Australian Government Public Sector.
- Develop with the Department of Defence, an annual report on progress of the top 30 Defence capital equipment projects.
- Leverage off our products to promote the work of the Office and improve client and stakeholder understanding about what we do.
- Review our outputs and outcomes groups and related performance indicators to ensure they continue to support our business directions.
- Promote further initiatives to improve strategies for the retention and attraction of staff, including a more structured training and professional development regime.
- Work towards increasing the use of ANAO staff rather than contractors in undertaking the audit of key public sector agencies and authorities to improve the retention of our corporate knowledge and provide greater continuity of service to audit clients.
- Maintain our involvement in national and international auditing bodies through membership of appropriate organisations.
