Appendix B. Delivering financial audits
The Auditor-General undertakes financial audits for over 580 public sector entities each year. The Auditor-General uses VAGO staff to undertake around a third of these financial report audits. For the remaining financial report audits, the Auditor-General contracts private sector firms (audit service providers) to assist with these. VAGO reviews this work and all audit opinions are issued on behalf of the Auditor-General.
Appendix A. Delivering performance audits
We largely use our own professionally qualified and trained staff to deliver our performance audits. However, we periodically engage experts to advise our performance audit teams on complex and technical issues. We also use contractors to supplement our staff resources where required.
Financial audit work program
Our financial audit program delivers a range of assurance services for public sector agencies.
We conduct financial audits in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards and relevant professional and legislative requirements. Additional information about the delivery of our financial audits is in Appendix B.
The following section sets out our financial audit work program for 2020–21, which targets matters that provide the greatest value to Parliament and the Victorian community.
Performance audit work program
This section sets out our proposed performance audit program for the next three years. In 2020–21 we plan to deliver 21 performance audits, which includes one follow-up audit.
For each audit listed, we outline the audit specification, which includes our objective for the audit, the issues we intend to examine and the proposed agencies we expect to include.
About our annual plan
The role of the Auditor-General is to provide independent assurance to the Parliament of Victoria and the Victorian community on the financial integrity and performance of the state.
Under the Audit Act 1994, we must prepare and table an annual plan before 30 June each year that details our proposed work program for the coming financial year.
