Dear Mr President
Dear Mr Speaker

In accordance with section 28 of the Auditor-General Act 1997, I present to the Parliament my report on the activities of the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) for the year ended 30 June 2020.

As required by subsection 17AG(2) of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Rule 2014, I certify that:

• the ANAO has prepared fraud risk assessments and fraud control plans;
• the ANAO has in place appropriate fraud prevention, detection, investigation and reporting mechanisms that meet its specific needs; and
• I have taken all reasonable measures to appropriately deal with fraud relating to the ANAO.

Following the tabling of the Australian National Audit Office Annual Report 2019–20, the report will be made available on the Australian National Audit Office’s website, anao.gov.au.

Yours sincerely

Grant Hehir
Auditor-General
