Independence The Office of the C&AG is definitely independent The Office of the C&AG is independent of the Committee of Public Accounts and it s good that they refuse to follow any political lead How can they be fully independent when they are auditing the people they meet every day in the canteen?
Staffing View staff as high quality and professional Value public sector knowledge staff display More continuity when teams change Concerns with knowledge of government accounting from contract staff I have a very good opinion of the Office of the C&AG. Their staff are very professional and they all know their job.
Financial audit outputs Reconsider materiality in relation to propriety issues Some saw as fault finding exercise Concise but some issues need more detail Audit committees would like more engagement Greater likelihood findings will be accepted if coming from Office of C&AG
Performance audit outputs Real appetite for more reports Significant value from learning opportunities More cross cutting reports
