Matters Outstanding
Two matters are currently before the committee and will not be completed before the Assembly rises prior to the election. These are the committees review of AuditorGenerals report no 6/94 - Inter-Agency Charging and its review of Auditor-Generals report no 7/94 -Overseas Travel.
The committee had sought advice from the Treasurer on matters central to the committees consideration of those reports but responses had not been received at this date.
A deal of preparatory work has been done on these two audit reports. Further, the presentation to the Assembly late last week of a third Auditor-Generals report, no 8/94 Financial Audits With Years Ending To 30 June 1994, has meant that it has not been feasible for the committee to consider that report. Accordingly the committee recommends that should the Public Accounts Committee be re-established in the next Assembly it access the documentation and records of this committee in order to complete consideration of audit reports nos 6/94, 7/94 and 8/94.
Valedictory
As the Presiding Member of the committee I take this opportunity to thank my committee colleagues, the Deputy Presiding Member - Ms Annette Ellis, Mrs Kate Carnell, Mrs Ellnor Grassby and Mr Michael Moore for their commitment to the work of the committee and wise counsel during the past two and a half years or so.
I also thank the secretariat staff who have served the committee with dedication and professionalism. In particular I extend the committees appreciation to Ms Karen Malmberg who was secretary to the committee until January this year, Bill Symington who succeeded her and Rod Power who assisted the committee during the inquiry into petrol supply arrangements.
