In this episode, we talk about how audit offices monitor (and report on) the status of implementation of performance audit recommendations.

We monitor the status of our PA recommendations for several reasons:

• We want to ensure that our work has impact
• We may have a legislative requirement to follow-up
• Stakeholders have asked us to provide updates on progress against agreed actions
• We want to check if further work is required in areas that we've previously audited.

How we do this ranges in nature and scale, from ongoing monitoring that relies on auditee submissions to full-scale follow-up audits with significant levels of testing.
