ABOUT THE INQUIRY
Section 68 of the Auditor-General Act 2009 (AG Act) requires a strategic review of the Queensland Audit Office (QAO) to be conducted at least every 5 years, counting from when the Minister makes a response to the parliamentary committee report on the most recent earlier strategic review, up to when the next reviewer is appointed.
The parliamentary committee with oversight responsibility for the QAO and the Auditor-General is required to be consulted about the appointment of the reviewer and the terms of reference for the review. Following consultation with the committee, Professor Emeritus Ian O’Connor AC was appointed as lead reviewer for the 2023 strategic review, with Moore Audit Australia as the support reviewer.
Pursuant to the AG Act, the responsible Minister must table the review report in the Legislative Assembly within 3 sitting days after the Minister receives the report. On 15 February 2024, the Premier tabled the final review report. The report was automatically referred to the committee for its consideration under section 92(2) of the Parliament of Queensland Act 2001. A copy of the report can be found here.
