This section is about our forward work plan for 2025–28 and the status of audits that are in progress.

Our reports to parliament provide assurance, insights and advice, and recommendations for improvement that support the integrity of our system of government.

We prepare a forward work plan 3 years ahead that outlines the audits we plan to undertake. We update the plan annually to ensure that we focus on the right topics and conduct them at the right time.

To ensure we select audit topics that matter most to Queensland, we apply a transparent and structured process.

Sometimes, new audits are added after our plan is published. We reflect these changes in the table below throughout the year.

We welcome your suggestions for potential audit topics and your contributions to any audits in progress.
