The Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit has today tabled its report for the Inquiry into Policy and Program Design and Implementation.
Committee Chair Linda Burney commented that specific recurring issues identified in the Auditor-General reports included in the inquiry appear to be impacting the effectiveness of government policy and program design, including inadequate stakeholder engagement, a lack of effective performance measures, and deficiencies in the advice to government.
Ms Burney stated that ‘ineffective decision-making and a departure from best practice resulted in some common issues across the audits examined by the Committee, even though they involved very different programs’,
