Victorian Auditor-General's Office

1. Introducing our annual plan

What we do

Our role

The Auditor-General is an independent officer of the Victorian Parliament who is supported by the Victorian Auditor General's Office (VAGO). 

We provide assurance to Parliament and the Victorian community about how effectively and efficiently public sector agencies provide services and use public money.

We plan to examine if responsible agencies are managing the distribution and population of pest herbivores to reduce their impacts.

Follow-up: Management of Spending in Response to COVID-19

We plan to examine if departments implemented our recommendations from Management of Spending in Response to COVID-19 (2021) and the Auditor-General’s Report on the Annual Financial Report of the State of Victoria: 2022–23, with a focus on how agencies are reporting the ongoing financial impact of their COVID-19 related expenditure.
