The Victorian Auditor-General’s Annual Plan 2019–20 was prepared pursuant to the requirements of section 7A of the Audit Act 1994, and tabled in the Victorian Parliament on 27 June 2019.
In this audit, we examined personnel security measures at all eight government departments, and the Victorian Public Service Commission. We specifically assessed agencies’ employment screening practices and how they are managing conflict of interest risks during recruitment.

The Auditor-General undertakes financial report audits for over 560 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. VAGO reviews this work, and all audit opinions are issued on behalf of the Auditor-General.
Our performance audits are typically delivered by in-house staff who we train specially. 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.

Our financial audit program delivers a range of assurance services for public sector agencies.
This section sets out our proposed performance audit program for the next three years. In 2019–20, we plan to deliver 20 performance audits and two follow-up audits.
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.
