The TSRA’s annual performance statements, financial statements and Auditor-General’s report on the financial statements are included in the Annual Report as required under sections 42, 43 and 46 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (Cth). The directors of the TSRA endorsed the Annual Report in a resolution passed at Board meeting number 126 on 21 August 2020. In accordance with section 10 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Rule 2014 (Cth), the TSRA has fully complied with the requirement to prevent, detect and deal with fraud. The TSRA delivered outcomes as set out in the Torres Strait Development Plan 2019-2022 during the past year and continues to meet the objectives of the Torres Strait and Northern Peninsula Area Regional Plan 2009-2029. Through both plans, the TSRA programmes have continued to contribute towards the Indigenous Advancement Strategy and closing the gap in disadvantage between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians living in the region. The TSRA looks forward to continuing our good work with you and to working through challenges and building on our successes over the coming year. Yours sincerely Mr Napau Pedro Stephen AM TSRA Chairperson
