2. How we conducted this review
The Auditor‐General provides independent assurance to the Parliament of Victoria and the Victorian community on the performance of the state and local government public sectors. As part of this limited assurance review, we ask agencies to update us on their implementation of our performance engagement recommendations each year. This provides transparency on government activities where no legislative requirement exists.
