Appendix C. Delivering financial audits
The Auditor-General undertakes financial report audits for over 560 public sector entities each year. Around a third of these are undertaken solely using VAGO staff. The remainder are undertaken with the assistance of private sector firms—audit service providers—contracted by the Auditor-General. VAGO reviews this work, and all audit opinions are issued on behalf of the Auditor-General.
Appendix B. Delivering performance audits
Our performance audits are typically delivered by in-house staff who we train specially. However, we periodically engage experts to advise our performance audit teams on complex and technical issues. We also use contractors to supplement our staff resources where required.
