Contracts over $100 000 with no Auditor-General access to contractor’s premises
Our standard contract templates include a clause allowing the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) to access a contractor’s premises. We aim to include this access clause into any contracts which we enter. However, there are a limited number of circumstances where ANAO access clauses have not been included. Instances where this may occur include where:
- the supplier has insisted that we use specific industry-based standard contracts rather than our standard contract template
- there is an international contract
- purchase orders are used without the access clause.
Table 81 lists the 2005-06 contracts that did not include the ANAO access clause.
