Strategic Procurement Outlook

The Auditor-General of NSW is responsible for audits and related services. The Auditor-General of NSW helps parliament hold government accountable for its use for public resources. The Audit Office of NSW (the Audit Office) is a statutory authority, established under the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983, that conducts audits for the Auditor-General of NSW.

The Audit Office conducts financial and performance audits of NSW Government agencies, local councils and council entities, principally under the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983, the Corporations Act 2001 and the Local Government Act 1993.

Procurement activities are conducted in accordance with the NSW Procurement Policy Framework principles. As a general practice, the Auditor-General of NSW enters into partnership arrangements with audit firms to deliver around 30 per cent of the financial audits. This translates to around 170-180 separate audits.

Through the partnership arrangements, the Auditor-General of NSW aims to commission external audits that:

·        result in the delivery of high quality audits

·        help parliament hold government accountable for its use of public resources

·        generate insights to inform and challenge government to improve outcomes for citizens

·        encourage innovation and an openness to more diverse service delivery models

·        are cost effective.
