Australia Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act) 83: Auditing by State and Territory Auditors-General: where the Commonwealth provides money to a State, Territory, State or Territory body or jointly funded body for a purpose, impose no restriction on the conduct of an audit of that partner by or on behalf of the State or Territory Auditor-General

What does 83 require?

When the Commonwealth gives money to a State or Territory, to one of its bodies, or to a body (a Commonwealth entity or company included) that a State or Territory or its body also funds, and the recipient gets the money because it agreed to spend it on the stated purpose or signed a contract about that purpose, the Commonwealth may not place any restriction on an audit of that recipient carried out by or for the State or Territory Auditor-General. The Commonwealth Auditor-General may audit the money as well. Funding agreements and national partnership arrangements must not contain terms that narrow the State or Territory auditor's access.
