What I found on this entity
$115M audit office tabling 28 performance audits and 270+ financial audits annually. Identified $1.8B in recoveries and savings recommendations in 2023–24. One of the strongest ROI stories in government.
Govt acts on less than 2% of ANAO recommendations — $18B in waste found, not recovered
Over a decade, ANAO audits identified $18 billion in Commonwealth waste, inefficiency, and non-compliance. The government own accountability body found the problems. Department responses promised action. Senate Estimates showed less than 2% of major recommendations were fully implemented within 2 years. The Auditor-General writes the report. Nobody does the follow-up. Your $18 billion. Found. Not recovered.
