ANAO (office of the wet lettuce) potential audit of CASA - 

Recently I was sent a notification from the ANAO that for this financial year they are again considering auditing CASA -   

This audit would examine whether the Civil Aviation Safety Authority administers its legislative and regulatory responsibilities in an efficient and effective manner, consistent with the Australian Government’s Regulator Performance Framework and with other relevant standards and better practice principles. 

Normally I would say why bother instigating such a foregone conclusion, rubber stamp, wet lettuce slap exercise at considerable expense to taxpayers. However the amount of money currently being wasted, hand over fist, in other areas would pale into non-existence the ANAO efforts of remaining gainfully employed and relevant in the proactive, transparent oversight of the Federal bureaucracy and government. There is also the fact that the ANAO forensic examination of the administration of CASA would be an invaluable resource and reference for the Chair Senator McDonald and the RRAT committee's GA 20/20 Hindsight inquiry.

Therefore I would urge the ANAO to stop talking about it and just get on with it - FDS!
