Statement by the accountable authority
![Department of Education Statement by the accountable authority I, as the accountable authority of the Department of Education, present the 2018–19 annual performance statements of the department, as required under paragraph 39(1)(a) of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act). The Administrative Arrangements Order of 29 May 2019 transferred responsibility for skills, vocational education and training to the Department of Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business. Responsibility for the Adult Migrant English Program was transferred to the Department of Home Affairs. On 21 June 2019, the Department of Finance issued a nomination under subsection 17A(4) of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Rule 2014, assigning responsibility for preparing the 2018–19 annual performance statements and annual report to the entity with responsibility for functions for the majority of the 2018–19 reporting period. The annual performance statements have been prepared on this basis. In my opinion, these annual performance statements are based on properly maintained records, accurately reflect the performance of the entity, and comply with subsection 39(2) of the PGPA Act.
