GOVERNMENT SECTOR AUDIT ACT 1983 - SECT 38G
Modern slavery audit by Auditor-General
38G Modern slavery audit by Auditor-General
(1) The Auditor-General may, when the Auditor-General considers it appropriate
to do so, conduct a risk-based audit of all or any particular activities of a
government agency to determine whether the government agency is ensuring that
goods and services procured by and for the agency are not the product of
modern slavery.
(2) In exercising functions under this section, the
Auditor-General is to consider whether the government agency-- (a) has
exercised due diligence in relation to procurement of goods and services, and
(b) if the Public Works and Procurement Act 1912 , Part 11 applies to the
procurement of goods and services by or for the government agency, has
complied with the directions of the NSW Procurement Board under section
175(3)(a1) of that Act. Note--: The Public Works and Procurement Act 1912 ,
Part 11 does not apply to the procurement of goods and services by or for--
(a) a local council or other local authority, or
(b) the Parliament of New
South Wales.
See section 163(2) of that Act.
(3) In subsection (2), due
diligence includes taking reasonable steps (whether by way of contractual
terms or otherwise) to ensure the primary supplier of goods and services is
responsible for implementing processes to eliminate or minimise the risk of
the goods or services supplied being products of modern slavery.
(4) A modern
slavery audit is separate from, and does not affect, any other audit required
or authorised by or under this or any other Act.
(5) A single modern slavery
audit may relate to the activities of more than one government agency.
