The Public Accounts of Papua New Guinea are an important element of open and accountable government. The presentation of the accounts to the Parliament fulfils a key stewardship obligation of the Government to report its financial performance during the reporting period. The purpose of this report specifically recognises the responsibility placed on entities to maintain effective control structures as part of good corporate governance. The Auditor General’s Office (AGO) is committed to the timely reporting of significant matters to assist the Parliament in its oversight of government programs.
