Report on Auditor-General's performance tabled

The Auditor-General is an independent officer of the Victorian Parliament that provides assurance to Parliament and the Victorian community on the Victorian public sector's performance and accountability. 

With a budget of $49.1 million in 2023–24 and 185 staff, VAGO undertakes performance audits, limited assurance reviews, and financial audits of more than 540 agencies.

The independent audit, which was prepared by the firm MartinJenkins, examined whether the Auditor-General and VAGO were achieving their objectives effectively, economically, efficiently and in compliance with the relevant legislation.

The report makes findings in a range of areas, including on VAGO’s strengths, opportunities and on issues that need effective resolution.

It also makes a number of recommendations to resolve issues affecting people, culture and organisational development; to improve the objectivity, value and impact of its audits and to realise opportunities to improve organisational efficiency and effectiveness.
