Rebuilding NSW - Delivering on our $20 billion infrastructure program

The proceeds from the electricity network transactions will fund projects including public transport and roads, education, health, culture and sport and water security. More than $11.9 billion of the $20 billion program has already been committed with work underway on headline infrastructure projects such as the Sydney Metro rail line and the M4 Smart Motorway.

Whether it means a smoother, quicker journey on a train or more time with family thanks to a rapid bus system, every citizen will reap the rewards of this once-in-a-generation asset recycling strategy. The proceeds will also enable improvements to communities, whether it be fixing a nasty black spot on a regional road or replacing an old, wooden bridge with a safer, modern concrete structure.

TPP17-06 Certifying the effectiveness of internal controls over financial information

This TPP17-06 has been replaced by TPG24-08.

Under the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 departments and statutory bodies must prepare financial reports in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards that exhibit a true and fair view of the financial position and financial performance of the department or statutory body. Further, AASB 101, Presentation of Financial Statements, requires entities to prepare financial statements “in a manner that provides relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information.”

This Policy and Guidelines Paper establishes a set of Core Requirements to ensure that agencies have clear accountabilities for the effectiveness of internal controls over financial information.
