Public Accounts—Standing Committee
Report 13—government response
MR STANHOPE (Ginninderra—Chief Minister, Attorney-General, Minister for Environment and Minister for Arts, Heritage and Indigenous Affairs): For the information of members, I present the following paper:
Public Accounts—Standing Committee—Report 13—Review of Auditor-General's Report No. 4 of 2003—Management of fraud and corruption prevention in the public sector—Government response.
I ask for leave to make a brief statement in relation to the paper.
Leave granted.
MR STANHOPE: Mr Speaker, the Standing Committee on Public Accounts made two recommendations and the government has adopted some aspects of each recommendation. In response to the first recommendation, the government agrees that the Public Sector Management Act 1994 will be amended to incorporate a specific statement about fraud and corruption prevention, including a definition of “values and ethical standards”. More detailed requirements for conducting fraud risk assessments and prevention treatments will be contained in subordinate legislation.
In relation to the second recommendation, the government agrees that the state of the service report will report on the extent and cost of fraud and corruption in the public service and the reporting on the cost of fraud will reflect those costs that are readily identifiable.
