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 ANAO could assess the Department of Treasury’s management and oversight of whether Commonwealth and state and territory objectives ‘to unlock quality, affordable housing supply over the medium term’ are achieved under the National Housing Accord. For example, by examining whether funding mechanisms for affordable housing have been carried out according to expected timeframes and requirements; or how state and territory governments’ implementation schedules are monitored, to ensure delivery of their affordable housing allocations.

The National Housing Accord was established in 2022. The accord aims to address housing supply challenges to ‘ensure Australians have access to safe, stable and affordable housing’ that is also ‘close to work, schools and transport’. This includes commitments for ‘immediate actions’ by the Commonwealth, states and territories to: deliver up to 20,000 new affordable dwellings – of which 10,000 will be delivered by the Commonwealth; collaborate to improve financing for new social and affordable housing projects; improve zoning, planning and land release and make sure the right skills are available and improving access to social and affordable housing. The Commonwealth committed $3.5 billion to state, territory and local governments to support the delivery of homes in line with the Accord’s target.

Housing Australia (HA), formerly the National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation, is the independent national housing authority and supports the delivery of Australian Government programs to improve the supply of social and affordable housing. HA is responsible for administering the Commonwealth’s commitment of 10,000 affordable dwellings under the accord.
