IMPACT 2020

IMPACT is the biennial International Meeting of Performance Audit Critical Thinkers.

VAGO was scheduled to host IMPACT 2020, in partnership with the Australasian Council of Auditors-General, in March.

Due to coronavirus (COVID-19) the IMPACT conference was cancelled, but we are pleased to share some of the presentations that would have been given at this event.
