2010–11 ACAG external assessment results
These reviews are undertaken by three assessors: an
ex-Parliamentarian/Chair of a Public Accounts Committee, an ex
Auditor-General and a member of the Board of the Australasian
Reporting Awards recently retired from a senior public service
position.
The assessors score each report against six criteria. Each
criterion is given a score out of five by the assessors. The chart
below illustrates the average score for the criteria over the
last three years (shown on a scale ranging from 3.5 to 5).
Criteria average 2008–09 to
2010–11 (out of five)
The score given for each criterion is
added together to give an overall score out of 30 for each report
and this is then reported as a percentage of the possible
score.
The results of these assessments are used as a VAGO performance
measure with a target of 80 per cent (the average score is
converted to a percentage). In 2010–11, ten
performance audit reports were assessed with the average result
being 80 per cent. This is on par with results over the previous
two years of 81 and 79 per cent.
These assessments provide VAGO with
assurance, from an independent and impartial source on the quality
of our reports. It also provides a complementary measure to our
Performance Audit Client Survey results.
