Data and information are critical to government operations and as agencies we need to ensure the public can trust us to protect their information.
The Queensland Audit Office’s annual update for clients’ chief financial officers, finance managers, and other staff involved in financial statement preparation is a key part of our engagement program.
I’m proud to be an auditor. And I am very proud to be an auditor working in the public sector. It is a rewarding career, filled with a great variety of clients and trusted relationships built across many years.
We select audit topics that matter most to Queensland. Our planning approach helps identify the risks and opportunities facing public service delivery, and we align our audit topics in response.
Auditing the right topics, at the right time, is the key to achieving better public services for Queenslanders.

An audit and an external review may differ in their approaches and levels of assurance, but there are parallels we can draw on how best to prepare and how to ensure maximum value.
To ensure we select audit topics that matter most to Queensland, we apply a strategic planning approach to identify the risks and opportunities facing public service delivery, and align our audit topics in response.
