Quality in the delivery of the ANAO’s audit services is critical in supporting the integrity of our audit reports and maintaining the confidence of the Parliament and public sector entities. The ANAO Corporate Plan 2026–27 is the ANAO’s primary planning document. It outlines our purpose; the dynamic environment in which we operate; our commitment to building capability; and the activities and performance measures by which we will be held to account.

This Quality Management Framework and Plan complements the Corporate Plan. It describes the ANAO’s system of quality management and reflects the ANAO’s responses to quality risks for the coming year.

The ANAO Quality Management Framework is the ANAO’s established system of quality management to provide the Auditor-General with:

• reasonable assurance that the ANAO complies with the ANAO Auditing Standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and
• reports issued by the ANAO are appropriate in the circumstances.

The Quality Management Strategy and Deliverables component of this document identifies the ANAO’s quality objectives and key responses to quality risks. It also supports the Auditor-General’s confidence that those responses are implemented and operating effectively.

The ANAO reports on the audit quality indicators that measure the ANAO’s performance against target benchmarks in the annual Audit Quality Report published on the ANAO website. The Audit Quality Report provides transparency about the implementation and operation of the responses to address quality risks for each component of the ANAO’s system of quality management.

The audit objective was to assess the effectiveness of the management of Machinery of Government (MoG) changes by the selected Australian Government entities.
