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.

VAGO reviews this work, and all audit opinions are issued on behalf of the Auditor-General.
