Our reports on the Results of financial statement and other audits contain the results of a number of special reviews and other investigations, and the results of financial statement audits for public sector agencies. A number of these reports are tabled in parliament each year.
The reports summarise the results of financial statement audits for 30 June and any special reviews completed at that time, and
the results of financial statement audits with balance dates other than 30 June (mainly Education bodies) and any special reviews completed at that time.
Financial statement audits add credibility to the financial accountability process through the expression of an independent audit opinion on the annual financial reports of organisations. The authority for these audits is derived from a variety of legislation, including the Audit Act 1994, Financial Management Act 1994 and Corporations Law. More information on financial statement audits can be found at Financial auditing explained.
Special reviews and other investigations focus on specific issues across the Victorian public sector. Special reviews are reported pursuant to section 15 of the Audit Act. More information on special reviews can be found at Special reviews and other investigations.
Up until 2001, the results of financial statement audits were published in a report titled Report on Ministerial Portfolios.
The title changed to Report on Public Sector Agencies, and in August 2004 the current title was introduced.
The following reports have been tabled in parliament:
