Paragraph: 73
Proposed actions to clear audit backlog are necessary but require further implementation.
Conclusion
The Department has proposed a series of actions to clear the audit backlog, which include resetting the system through a limited series of statutory deadlines for the delivery of outstanding audits from previous financial years. These proposals represent a necessary first step towards overcoming the audit crisis. However, more work is needed to implement them and to resolve the issues in the local audit system to achieve meaningful and much needed change in the sector.
