Australian National Audit Office

The Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) is an independent agency of the Australian government responsible for auditing the financial statements and performance of government entities. Its primary role is to ensure accountability and transparency in how public funds are spent. By conducting audits and evaluating programs, the ANAO assesses the efficiency and effectiveness of government operations. The findings are made public to help improve government services and inform the Parliament and citizens on financial management. Essentially, the ANAO helps ensure that taxpayer money is used wisely and responsibly.
