  • Parliamentary committee and Auditor-General recommendations seek to address risks identified through inquiries and audits. Audit committees are required to provide independent advice and assurance on entities’ systems of risk oversight and management and internal controls. Complete and regular reporting to audit and risk committees, including by providing evidence-based closure packs for completed parliamentary committee and Auditor-General recommendations, gives audit and risk committees visibility over how risks are being managed. This assists audit and risk committees to meet their advice and assurance functions.
