HIGHLIGHTS
A summary of the highlights for 2008–09 is set out below.
- We delivered a comprehensive program of financial and performance audits and related products, including better practice guides, to inform the parliament and the government about public sector administration and performance.
- We continued to support the work of parliamentary committees, particularly the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit, which we assisted with its inquiries.
- Our performance audit reports were influential in shaping public administration. We made 163 recommendations directed at improving agency performance and accountability; of these, 91 per cent were agreed in full and 9 per cent were agreed with some qualification.
- We issued 246 audit opinions, of which 90 per cent were issued within two days of financial statements being signed.
- We developed our 2009–11 Workforce Strategic Plan, which promises to significantly enhance the way we manage our people.
- Our resource base has been supplemented by $20.1 million over four years (including capital funding of $0.9 million). This will allow the ANAO to enhance its auditing activities, including performance audits, information technology audits and other specialist audit activities, and increase technical support and quality assurance capability.
- We continued to provide direct assistance to the audit institutions of Papua New Guinea and Indonesia as part of our commitment to developing public sector auditing internationally.
- Our building refurbishment has been largely completed, providing our staff with significant improvements in their accommodation and general work environment.
