The Auditor-General’s Draft annual plan 2016/17 was presented to the House of Representatives today.

The Auditor-General is required to consult the House of Representatives each year on a draft annual plan that describes the Office’s proposed annual work programme. This consultation helps to ensure that the Office’s work will be relevant and useful to Parliament, public entities, and the public.

The proposed theme for the Office’s 2016/17 work programme is Information. This theme reflects the increasing importance of information to the effective and efficient delivery of public services. We intend to examine aspects of how well the public sector is managing and making use of information.

The Auditor-General will consider any feedback from select committees, public entities or the public on our draft annual plan and incorporate it as appropriate in our final Annual Plan 2016/17, which will be published before the end of June 2016.

ENDS
