On 31 October 2011, the Auditor-General, Mr Peter Achterstraat, released Volume Three Report to Parliament on the 2010-11 NSW Total State Sector Accounts. The audited budget surplus was $1,340 million. The Auditor-General issued a qualified independent auditor’s opinion as the State could not identify the full extent and value of its land and infrastructure holdings for the eighth year in a row. The government needs to address its processes for identifying, valuing and recording land and related assets it controls as a matter of priority so it can effectively manage the full extent of its land and infrastructure holdings.
