State Opera South Australia

882 Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (5 June 2019). What reasons, if any, has State Opera South Australia provided to the Premier for a former employee retaining cheque signatory authorisation for State Opera South Australia after their departure?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General): I have been advised:

State Opera South Australia has advised that the board did not update its cheque signatory authorisation in error. This error was corrected following the audit and prior to the publication of Report 4 of 2019—Update to the Annual Report.

There was no evidence that this authorisation was used by the former employee after they left.
