The volume: c Explores the Australian model of public sector audit. c Provides a definition of a supreme Audit Institution (SAI) and the role and responsibilities of the public sector auditor. c Examines the authority necessary for the SAI to function effectively. c Discusses likely future reform of the SAI's legal framework. c Illustrates how audit can be used to strengthen democratic institutions in emerging market economies. It will be of use to researchers, academics and students interested in the critical issues surrounding audit in general and public sector audit in particular.
