Personnel Security: Due Diligence over Public Service Employees

Body

In this audit, we examined personnel security measures at all eight government departments, and the Victorian Public Service Commission. We specifically assessed agencies’ employment screening practices and how they are managing conflict of interest risks during recruitment.

Appendix C. Delivering financial audits

The Auditor-General undertakes financial report audits for over 560 public sector entities each year. Around a third of these are undertaken solely using VAGO staff. The remainder are undertaken with the assistance of private sector firms—audit service providers—contracted by the Auditor-General. VAGO reviews this work, and all audit opinions are issued on behalf of the Auditor-General.
