Browse our range of reports and publications including performance and financial statement audit reports, assurance review reports, information reports and annual reports.
Assurance reviews are conducted under section 19A(1) of the Auditor-General Act 1997 (the Act) and in accordance with the Australian Standard on Assurance Engagements (ASAE) 3000 Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information, issued by the Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, which forms part of the ANAO Auditing Standards.
Once relevant inquiries have been concluded by the ANAO, the findings from an assurance review may be handled through the issuing of correspondence, with the relevant correspondence published under requests for audit, or the review report may be presented to the Parliament for tabling under section 25 of the Act. Following their tabling, assurance review reports are published here.
