Our current projects

We're currently carrying out fieldwork and/or research so we can report on these topics, either before the end of this financial year or soon after:

• the governance and oversight of subsidiaries of Auckland Council,
• the institutional arrangements for ensuring the quality of teaching,
• civilianisation of the New Zealand Defence Force,
• good practice in information communications technology,
• financial management within government
• a follow-up to our report on the effectiveness of arrangements to check the standard of services provided by rest homes,
• the Māori education strategy for 2008-2012, Ka Hikitia,
• the response of the New Zealand Police to the Commission of Inquiry into Police Conduct (our third monitoring report),
• quality assurance for internally assessed standards for the National Certificate of Educational Achievement.

During 2011/12, we're also encouraging better reporting of suspected fraud and sharing the results of our fraud survey.
