Frequently Asked Questions

By effectively managing Audit Action Plans and ensuring high-quality evidence is provided to the Auditor-General (AGSA), you directly help the Department move toward a 'Clean' or 'Unqualified' audit opinion.
You act as the central point of contact during an audit. You ensure that auditors get the documents they need, that management responds to findings correctly, and that the audit process remains on schedule without disrupting departmental operations.
A CSA is a process where managers and staff examine their own internal controls. Your role is to guide them through this so they can find and fix errors before the formal auditors arrive.
