intentions, and in an effective and efficient manner?
Authority
Have activities, resourcing and accountability requirements been undertaken
within the authority granted by Parliament?
Waste
Have resources been obtained and applied in an economical manner? Are
taxpayer's dollars being wasted?
Probity
Are entities meeting Parliament's and the public's expectations of an
appropriate standard of behaviour in the public sector?
Accountability
Have entities given full and accurate accounts of their activities?
Are governance and management arrangements suitable to address any concerns?
