Our legislation, the Auditor-General Act 2009, requires us to publish a 3-year plan of the performance audits we intend to carry out. We prepare a program covering all of our audit work – called our forward work plan. It provides transparency to parliament, our audit clients, and the Queensland community on the work we intend to perform.

This fact sheet explains how we identify and select our future audit topics, and how we communicate about our plan during its development.
