Attachment B
General Government Sector agencies in scope of the Audit of Employment
Further to MS22-000565, the data collection component of the
Audit of Employment is proposed to apply to
all agencies employing staff under the
Public Service Act 1999 (PSA).
For comparison, Table 1 below lists the Entities that are subject to ASL Budget Collections – the outcomes of
which have been published in Budget Paper No.4. The Table also summarises the Commonwealth Entities and
Companies that would be in/out of scope (as at the
PGPA Act Flipchart and List of 1 July 2022).
Table 1: Summary overview of General Government Sector agencies – and the application status of ASL
Budget Collection reporting and the Audit of Employment scope.
