ANAO Internal Audit Services 2020-23

The Auditor-General has established internal audit as a key component of the governance arrangements of the ANAO. The purpose of the internal audit function is to provide an independent and objective review and advisory service to:
• provide assurance to the Auditor-General that ANAO financial and operational controls designed to manage the organisation’s risks and achieve the entity’s objectives are operating in an efficient, effective and ethical manner; and
• assist management in improving the entity’s business performance.
The ANAO Audit Committee members are appointed by the Auditor-General, including up to three independent members (one of which will be the Chair). The ANAO Audit Committee routinely meets four times annually and the Internal Audit reports to the ANAO Audit Committee at least quarterly.
One or more special meetings may be held to review the ANAO’s annual financial statements and performance statements, or to meet other specific responsibilities of the committee.
