Appendix C. Delivering financial audits

The Auditor-General undertakes financial report audits for over 550 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. We review this work, and all audit opinions are issued on behalf of the Auditor-General.

About our annual plan

The Victorian Auditor-General's Office provides independent assurance to Parliament and the Victorian community on the financial integrity and performance of the state.
Under the Audit Act 1994, we are required to prepare and table an annual plan before 30 June each year that describes our proposed work program for the coming financial year.

To provide assurance to the Parliament of Victoria and the Victorian community, the Victorian Auditor-General's Office conducts performance audits and financial audits.

Annual Plan 2018–19

Body
Section 7A of the Audit Act 1994 requires the Auditor-General to develop an annual plan and present it to Parliament, following consultation with Parliament’s Public Accounts and Estimates Committee. As such it is a key accountability mechanism for the Auditor-General and his office. It sets out our work program and also gives Parliament, the public sector and the Victorian community the opportunity to assess our goals and understand our audit priorities.
