COMPACT 24
The Commonwealth Online Meeting of Performance Audit Critical Thinkers 2024 (COMPACT 24) conference took place online on the 2nd of May 2024. Themed ‘A People-Centric Approach to Performance Audit’', the key focus was on methods of engagement and considerations for engaging end-users in an audit, specifically when the end-users are vulnerable or difficult to reach people.
Keynote speaker Jacqueline McGowan-Jones, Commissioner for Children and Young People WA, provided insights on how information is used, innovative methods for reaching a diverse range of opinions from young individuals, and any challenges or considerations audit offices should be mindful of when engaging with this demographic. Our second keynote speaker Carla Ware, NSW Audit Office First Nations Performance Audit Leader, shared her experiences gained in the position of designing and leading performance audits on issues impacting First Nations communities, as well as any insights into engaging difficult to reach communities. Also included in the COMPACT program was a Panel Discussion made up of five Performance Auditors from around the country highlighting the risks and benefits they found when engaging with end-users in a recent audit.
