AUDITOR-GENERAL'S REPORT

In reply to Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop) (11 November 2008).

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for Early Childhood Development, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister Assisting the Premier in Cabinet Business and Public Sector Management): I am advised that:

The services being delivered under the MOU with DEH and the EPA fall under the following categories:

Financial Services

Accounts Payable

Accounts Receivable

Financial Accounting

Human Resource Management Services

Payroll Services

Information Technology Services

Occupational Health Safety & Welfare

Rehabilitation and Injury Management

Procurement

Risk Management

General Administrative Services

Facilities Management

It is worth noting that of the above services, the Payroll and Accounts Payable functions were been transitioned to Shared Services SA in August 2008 and October 2008 respectively. Furthermore, a number of Financial Accounting responsibilities (namely the preparation of Year End Financial Statements) are being transferred back to the EPA from DEH during 2008-09 and as such, the MOU has been amended accordingly.
