Standing Direction 2.6 (f) of the Financial Management Act 1994 requires agency audit committees to monitor the actions taken to resolve external audit issues and whether recommendations are adopted and addressed in a timely manner. All public sector entities should therefore report on and monitor actions in response to performance audit recommendations.
VAGO makes recommendations designed to address the issues identified through performance audits. However, our recommendations cannot result in improvements unless they are accepted and addressed by agencies directly and in a timely manner.
