State Opera South Australia

883 Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (5 June 2019). What reasons, if any, has State Opera South Australia provided to the Premier for former employee bank account access credentials being used to process payments?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

The Auditor-General reported in his Update to the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2018, tabled on 30 April 2019, that the reasons provided by State Opera for using the bank account credentials of one of its former employees to process payments were that this access was used for business continuity reasons, and there was a time delay in establishing access for new staff.
