Auditor-General's Annual Plan 2015/16 published

The Auditor-General’s Annual Plan 2015/16 was presented to the House of Representatives this afternoon. It can be viewed on our website: www.oag.govt.nz/2015/annual-plan

Our Office plays an important part in strengthening accountability, integrity, and transparency in the public sector. By carrying out work that is credible and of high quality, we aim to improve the performance of, and the public’s trust in, the public sector.

Our 2015/16 annual work programme will be the fourth in our multi-year themed work programme. The theme for 2015/16 is Investment and asset management. We have published two overview reports on our previous themes: Our future needs – Is the public sector ready? and Service delivery.

Investment and asset management is critical to New Zealand’s future. The public sector manages significant investments and assets that are essential to providing public services. It is important that these public resources are used wisely and that public assets continue to support long-term delivery of public services. This year’s work programme describes my priorities and the work that we consider would be useful, based on our knowledge of the challenges, emerging issues, and trends in the public sector.
