Grant funding is crucial for supporting the objectives and priorities of the government and serves as a vital source of financial support for the community, local governments, and businesses. Managing grants programs effectively and efficiently is a core function of many government departments.
Audit Objective
This audit will build on our series of grant audits, which includes:
• Improving grants management (Report 2: 2022–23)
• Awarding of sports grants (Report 6: 2020–21).
We will identify the relevant grants programs to be audited closer to the date of the audit, based on an assessment of the significance and risk of grant programs at that time. We will provide an update on this topic in future forward work plans.
Who we might audit
• selected public sector entities.
