The Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit (JCPAA) will hear from a range of agencies on Friday, 22 November 2024 for its inquiry into the administration of Commonwealth regulations.
The Chair of the JCPAA, the Hon Linda Burney MP, said that "regulation, when it is administered effectively, delivers better public goods and services, creates certainty, facilitates growth and builds community confidence."
"Regulators must have proportionate and risk-based approaches to assessing compliance risk. Compliance and enforcement strategies must be informed by evidence, and actions to identify and address instances of non-compliance must aim to minimise harm."
Ms Burney stated, "the Committee will examine the findings of five audit reports and hear from the relevant entities on their performance as regulators."
