THE ACT Auditor-General has popped an unusual set of bullet points onto the front page of their website.
- The ACT Auditor-General has decided to conduct:
- a performance audit of Calvary Public Hospital’s Performance and Financial Reporting; and
- a performance audit of data integrity in the ACT Health Directorate.
- The objective of the performance audit of Calvary Public Hospital’s Performance and Financial Reporting is to provide an independent opinion to the Legislative Assembly on:
- the effectiveness of the contractual arrangement between the operators of Calvary Public Hospital and the ACT, including governance, financial and performance management; and
- the adequacy of actions taken by Little Company of Mary Health Care and Calvary Health Care to identify and correct work practices that resulted in the provision of incorrect financial information to ACT Health in 2013-14.
- The objective of the performance audit of data integrity in the ACT Health Directorate is to provide an independent opinion to the Legislative Assembly on:
- the integrity of Activity Based Funding data reported by the ACT Health Directorate to the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority; and
- to report on the effectiveness of Health’s management of the data.
- The audits are expected to conclude in mid 2015.
