Chapter 16 - Committees
Referral
of matters to committees
Performance of
government agencies
Another element of the committees’ work is scrutiny of the performance
of departments and agencies allocated to the committees (SO 25(2)(b)). There is
no requirement in the standing orders for committees to report separately on
this function, although they may do so. Committees may also report on
performance in the context of their examination of annual reports or estimates
of departments and agencies.
The Standing Committee on Finance and Public Administration has several
standing references dealing with the accountability of statutory and
non-statutory bodies and Commonwealth-owned companies.
