Inquiry into Auditor-General’s Performance Audit Reports January 2022–June 2022 – report tabled
The Standing Committee on Public Accounts (the Committee) today tabled the Committee’s report for the Inquiry into Auditor-General’s Performance Audit Reports January 2022 – June 2022.
The Committee’s report made 12 recommendations.
The Chair of the Committee, Mrs Elizabeth Kikkert MLA, said: ‘Until now, the Committee has undertaken standalone inquiries into selected reports of the Auditor-General’.
‘This will be the first time the Committee has inquired into and reported on all performance audit reports released by the Auditor-General between 1 January 2022 and 30 June 2022. The move toward jointly inquiring into audit reports draws on the established practices of other Australian jurisdictions, and will allow the Committee to undertake more self-referred inquiries into matters of public importance’.
The Committee’s report is available on the Assembly’s webpage at: https://www.parliament.act.gov.au/parliamentary-business/in-committees/recent-reports
Under the Assembly’s standing orders, the ACT Government is required to respond to committee reports within four months of tabling.
