Each year the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) publishes an annual audit work program (AAWP) detailing its planned financial statement audit coverage, proposed performance audit coverage and other intended assurance activities for the coming year.
The draft AAWP 2022–23 containing potential performance audit coverage for the next financial year was published on the ANAO website for public review and comment in the period from 25 March to 19 April 2022.
Once all feedback has been reviewed, the Auditor-General will finalise the AAWP 2022–23 and publish it on the ANAO website in July 2022.
The ANAO Quality Assurance Framework is the system of quality control that the ANAO has established to provide the Auditor-General with reasonable assurance that the ANAO complies with the ANAO standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements and reports issued by the ANAO are appropriate in the circumstances.
The Audit Quality Report demonstrates the ANAO assessment of the implementation and operating effectiveness of the elements of the ANAO Quality Assurance Framework. The report provides transparency in respect of the processes, policies, and procedures that support each element of the ANAO Quality Assurance Framework, and reports audit quality indicators measuring ANAO performance against target benchmarks.
This report also includes the achievement of the quality assurance strategy and deliverables set out in the ANAO Quality Assurance Framework and Plan 2019–20.
