Audit Committee Guidelines: Improving Accountability and Performance
Queensland Treasury has completed a review of the existing Audit Committee Guidelines: Improving Accountability and Performance (‘the guidelines’). The guidelines have been updated to reflect the greater emphasis being placed on governance practices and on the role of the audit committee. The revised guidelines incorporate example reporting, checklists to assist audit committee members in carrying out their duties and other practical tools. The guideline appendices have also been issued below in Word format so that the example checklists and reporting can be tailored to meet the requirements within each agency.
The revised guidelines address the set up of an audit committee, the membership, roles and its conduct. The new guidelines outline the process for performance assessment of the audit committee including a self assessment questionnaire and external review checklist.
