QPSARA® Annual Report Awards

Every year since 1982, the Institute of Internal Auditors has conducted the QPSARA® Annual Report Awards to encourage Queensland’s public sector agencies to adopt Australian Standards in their reporting.  The Awards have consistently attracted between 50-80 entries from Queensland public sector organisations.  

The aim of the QPSARA® Awards is to:

• Recognise excellence in the quality of information provided in the annual reports of Queensland’s public sector organisations
• Provide a focal point by which the IIA and other professional bodies may demonstrate their encouragement to improving the effectiveness, efficiency, equity and accountability of Queensland’s public sector agencies.

2009 QPSARA® Awards Evening

Winning entries have been announced and Awards presented at the QPSARA^® Awards Evening, held on Friday 23rd May 2010 at the Tattersalls Club in Brisbane.
