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.
Appendix B. Delivering performance audits
Our performance audits are typically delivered by in-house staff specially trained by us, 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.

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.
