The Queensland Audit Office is the independent auditor of the Queensland public sector. 

The Auditor-General Act 2009 provides us with our audit mandate and requires us to publish our audit standards, a list of any audit exemptions, and the audit topics in our 3-year forward work plan.

Our financial audit program progressively audits the financial statements of hundreds of public sector entities and is paid for by the entities we audit.

Our performance audit program varies year-to-year, examining topics of importance to Queensland. It is paid for by funding from parliament.

We report our audit findings and matters for attention to our clients during the course of an audit.

We also produce reports on the results of our audits, which are tabled in parliament. 

We invite members of the public to contribute to our audit program in several ways. They can suggest new performance audit topics, contribute information to a current performance audit, or raise an issue about financial waste or mismanagement of public resources. Where we identify significant issues, we may report them to parliament.
