On  16 May 2013 the Senate referred the  Public Governance, Performance and Accountability  Bill 2013 for inquiry and report.

In undertaking the inquiry, the Committee should consider:

The Bill proposes to reform the financial framework for Commonwealth agencies and has a whole of government impact.

The reporting date is  3 June 2013.

The Committee notes that the Bill has also been referred for inquiry and report to the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit. The Committee has therefore determined not to proceed with a separate inquiry.
Any interested individuals and organisations should refer to the JCPAA's webpage for details of its inquiry at:
