Observations from our central government work in 2022/23

"Although there is good practice in how some public organisations report on aspects of their performance, we continue to see reporting that points out how busy public organisations have been rather than what they have achieved."

After the Auditor-General’s overview, we describe the operating environment for central government and discuss how the government reports on its performance. We summarise our audit of the Government’s financial statements and the main features of our Controller work in 2022/23. Related to that, the Appendix describes how appropriations work.

You'll find supporting material in the Media kit. There is an Epub, a PDF of the report, a high-resolution photo of the report spokesperson, and downloadable versions of the figures.
