About Us
The Tasmanian Audit Office is an independent agency charged with upholding public integrity in Tasmania. The Office assists the Auditor-General to provide an independent view of the financial and operational performance of State entities. The Audit Act 2008 (Audit Act) sets out the Auditor-General’s functions, mandate and powers. Our Four Year Strategic Plan called “Making a Difference” and the associated annual plans, of which this plan forms a part, respond to our legislated responsibilities.
What We Do
The Auditor-General
Under the Audit Act, the Auditor-General must undertake audits of financial statements of Tasmanian State entities and issue audit reports outlining their compliance with relevant legislation and accounting standards. The Auditor-General must also prepare an audit report on the Public Account Statements and any other statements required to be prepared by the Treasurer in accordance with any written law. All of these audits must be completed within specified time frames.
