Consideration of Auditor-General Report 6: 2025-26 - Information systems 2025
Overview
Role of the Auditor-General
The role of the Auditor-General is to provide Parliament with independent assurance of public sector accountability and performance. This is achieved through reporting to Parliament on the results of its financial and performance audits.
About the Auditor-General Report
This is the Queensland Audit Office’s first report on information systems controls. It is designed to recognise the collective need across government for more focus on the security of information.
The report provides:
- a summary of matters identified in the QAO’s information systems audits for state entities in Queensland’s public sector
- preliminary insights on legacy systems that have passed their lifespan and are no longer supported by their technology providers.

The Auditor-General made recommendations to remedy control deficiencies to the individual entities that were audited.
The Auditor-General did not make any new recommendations in State entities 2024 (Report 11: 2024–25). Instead, the Auditor-General drew entities’ attention to the recommendations from State entities 2023 (Report 11: 2023–24) that require further action.
