About this report or communique
Strong independent oversight bodies, such as Audit Tasmania, are an essential part of the integrity and accountability framework that provide Parliament and the public with trust and confidence in their governments. This is even more important in challenging fiscal and operating environments for Governments in our region.
This week in Hobart the Tasmanian Auditor-General, Martin Thompson, hosted a meeting of Auditors-General with representatives from all Australian States and Territories, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and several Pacific Island nations. “The meeting was held in conjunction with the Australasian Council of Public Accounts Committees hosted by the Hon Ruth Forrest MLC, Chair of the Tasmanian Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee,” Mr Thompson said.
