I have audited the key performance indicators of the Department of Transport for the year ended 30 June 2014.
The key performance indicators are the key effectiveness indicators and the key efficiency indicators that provide information on outcome achievement and service provision.
Director General’s Responsibility for the Key Performance Indicators
The Director General is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the key performance indicators in accordance with the Financial Management Act 2006 and the Treasurer’s Instructions and for such controls as the Director General determines necessary to ensure that the key performance indicators fairly represent indicated performance.
Auditor’s Responsibility
As required by the Auditor General Act 2006, my responsibility is to express an opinion on the key performance indicators based on my audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the key performance indicators. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the key performance indicators. In making these risk assessments the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Director General’s preparation and fair presentation of the key performance indicators in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the relevance and appropriateness of the key performance indicators for measuring the extent of outcome achievement and service provision.
I believe that the audit evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.
