3 Monitoring performance audit recommendations
At a glance
Background
Standing Direction 2.6 (f) of the Financial Management Act 1994 requires audit committees to monitor actions taken to resolve external audit issues and whether actions are adopted and addressed in a timely manner. All public sector entities should therefore report on and monitor actions in response to performance audit recommendations.
2 Agency responses to 2012–13 recommendations
At a glance
Background
VAGO makes recommendations to address issues identified through performance audit. Agencies have an opportunity to comment on audit recommendations prior to reports being tabled and are encouraged to assist in the development of recommendations to ensure they are practical, achievable and address the issue. We then expect that agencies will monitor their progress in implementing recommendations to ensure timely completion.
1 Background
1.1 Performance audits
1.1.1 Purpose of performance audits
Each year, VAGO undertakes a broad range of performance audits, culminating in reports to Parliament that contain findings and conclusions about the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of public services, and compliance with relevant legislation. These audits offer independent assurance to Parliament and the community about public sector performance. Performance audits may also identify better practice and are a catalyst for continuous improvement in the public sector.
