Auditor-General, Margaret Crawford released a report on the planning and environment cluster today, concluding that the quality of financial reporting is improving. However, the cluster can improve its financial controls and governance framework.

The Audit Office reviewed whether Members of NSW Parliament complied with certain requirements outlined in the Parliamentary Remuneration Tribunal’s Determination for the year ended 30 June 2015.

The review was designed to provide Parliament with limited assurance about whether a sample of 34 Members complied with the Tribunal’s Determination. The review performed was less than a full audit and not designed to detect all instances of non-compliance.
