Councils, museums and art gallery audit report and processes

See the Auditor General Report: http://www.audit.tas.gov.au/media/AGr-Volume-4-2014-15-Summary-Report.pdf

It worth reading this report to see first hand, and in context, the Auditor’s concerns. Defences will surely be mounted in regard to some critiques but it is worth reading them for yourself rather than rely upon the press. With electronic communication technologies now widely available to more people it is advisable that citizens inform themselves from source.

Interestingly this document flags the fact that the Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery plus other small museums and art galleries throughout the state may/will be subjected to a similar audit to that flagged for the Tasmanian Museum & Arty Gallery. Given what communities have invested in these institutions it is timely that they are audited considering some of the substandard practices evident in some. It is worth reading this document in order to understand the process and its purpose.
