CHIEF MINISTER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

Question No. 1083

Government Schooling Program - Audit Report

Mr. Cornwell - Asked the Chief Minister upon notice on 23 November 1993:

Can a copy of the report by Arthur Andersen on the audit that led to Auditor-Generals Report No. 6 Government Schooling Program, be provided to interested persons, including myself; if not why not.

MS FOLLETT - The answer to the Members question is as follows:

The Auditor-General has advised that the draft report prepared by Arthur Andersen in relation to the audit of the Government Schooling Program is available in his Office and can perused by legitimately interested parties. The facility to photocopy pages of particular interest will be made available.

The Auditor-General has also advised that it needs to be recognised that the Andersen draft was not prepared for publication. Its use was as the basis for subsequent discussion, consultations and reviews which involved the AuditorGeneral, his staff, Andersens, Education Department officials and the quality reviewer contracted by the Auditor-General, Professor Fenton Sharpe. As a result any comparison of the Andersen draft with the final Report 6 will produce many variations. These variations will include subject additions, deletions and expansions; rearranged sequence of chapters and altered expression, emphasis etc
