Tenders

From time to time VAGO will issue tender requests for products and/or services.  Tenders range from short-term engagements for performance audits and corporate development, to long-term contracts (up to 5 years) for financial audits undertaken on behalf of the Auditor-General.  Tender administration is undertaken in compliance with the Victorian Government Purchasing Board Guidelines.

Financial Audit Tenders

The Auditor-General undertakes financial statement audits in accordance with the Audit Act 1994 and other legislation.  The Auditor-General may choose to engage a private accounting firm to assist in undertaking the audit.

Performance Audit Tenders

The Auditor-General undertakes performance audits in accordance with the provisions of the Audit Act 1994.  After consultation with parliament’s Public Accounts and Estimates Committee, the Auditor-General determines the annual audit program.  VAGO then undertakes the scoping and conduct of the audit, and preparation of a report to parliament on the audit’s results.

The Auditor-General may choose to engage a person or firm to assist in the audit.  This assistance may take the form of professional advice or the conduct of audit-related activities such as the gathering and analysis of material.

Specific details of forthcoming performance audits are included in the Annual Plan.
