In 1997-98, the ANAO audited the Child Support Agency (CSA), making 12 recommendations to improve its operational performance.

The audit examined client service in the CSA by following-up the CSA's implementation of the recommendations contained in these two previous reports and more broadly assessing whether the CSA had improved the management and delivery of its client service sine the previous ANAO audit.
