The 12th Corporate Governance in the Public Sector

“Sound public sector governance ensures accountability to an organisation’s many stakeholders including citizens, and to encourage performance improvement while satisfying control and compliance requirements”

Public Sector Governance – Showing the Way, Ian McPhee, Auditor General for Australia, September 2008

Now in its 12th year Corporate Governance in the Public Sector is a key opportunity for those responsible for ensuring governance excellence in their departments and agencies, to come together with colleagues from across Australia and debate and resolve common concerns.

The Corporate Governance in the Public Sector program addresses governance issues surrounding governance reform; whole-of-government trends; collaborative working arrangements; pro-disclosure developments and new FOI initiatives.
