2023-24 ANAO budget increases to $14.4m, despite audit office concerns about insufficient funding for rising workload.
The Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) has raised concerns about insufficient funding to manage its increased workload in the upcoming financial year. The agency, responsible for auditing government departments and reporting on public funds misuse, needs additional resources to fulfill new tasks, including more performance audits and climate change disclosures.

The government has allocated $14.4 million for 2023-24, with $3.9 million annually thereafter.
