To conclude

The standing of the ANAO is due to the professionalism and commitment of my staff in delivering on our goals and completing the work associated with our ambitious audit programme. They understand the importance of our role, and the contribution the ANAO is able to make to better public administration.

The commitment to achievement by ANAO staff gives me confidence and optimism about our performance going forward. While staffing recruitment and retention pressures will continue, the ANAO is well placed to have another successful year in 2007–08.
