Measuring and reporting on sustainability. Beyond the triple line
Overview
This paper exhorts public sector agencies to re-examine and improve their current performance measurement and reporting practices. It also provides an insight into how the Auditor-General's Office will approach auditing sustainability initiatives in the Victorian public sector. The paper pays particular attention to measuring and reporting, for two reasons. First, they feature heavily in the sustainability arena where they are used to drive performance improvements and pursue accountability. Second, it is the Office’s role to audit the effectiveness of Victorian public sector programs and assure the accuracy of their public reports.
