The Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) Corporate Plan is the ANAO’s key strategic planning document. It guides our operating environment and sets out how we will deliver on our purpose.
The Quality Assurance Framework and Plan complements the Corporate Plan. 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.
This 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 Quality Assurance Framework and Plan 2020–21.

- Where a firm is commissioned to provide audit or advisory services, the Australian Government entity should align the work to its risks and manage all conflicts of interest.
- Accountable authorities should regularly review the functions of audit committees to ensure they are meeting the requirements of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Rule 2014 to review the appropriateness of systems of risk management and oversight and internal controls. The audit committee charters should then be updated to ensure they remain contemporary.
