Auditor-General's Report

In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (29 October 2024).

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Police): I have been advised:

Part B (Controls Opinion) of the Auditor-General's annual report outlines the Auditor-General's opinion on the sufficiency of controls exercised by the Treasurer and public authorities relating to a 'range of financial transactions…to provide reasonable assurance that those transactions have been conducted properly and in accordance with law' (page 3).

To form their opinion, 56 public authorities were included in Auditor-General's 2023-24 controls audit opinion program.

Part C (Agency Audit Reports) provides details of the specific 'controls opinion' findings for each individual agency. These findings collectively inform the significant outcomes that are presented in Part B. Details about issues relating to asset management, contract management, procurement and payroll, and other issues, as well as agency responses, are identified in Part C (Agency Audit Reports).
