QuestionView source ↗

I refer to the WA Auditor General Audit Results Report Annual 2009-10 Assurance Audits Report 10 Nov 2010, and in particular to pages 26 and 27, where they refer to annual Statements of Corporate Intent (SCI). The Report states that fifteen of the twenty two Agencies have not tabled SCIs for 2010-2011 and that, ‘Widespread non-compliance with legislative requirement to table annual statements of Corporate Intent continues’. As the Chemistry Centre (WA) is listed as being an Agency where a SCI has not been tabled from 2008-09 until the current period, I ask -
(1) What is the reason that a SCI has not been tabled for each of the years until the current period?
(2) Will a SCI been tabled shortly?
(3) If no to (2), why not?
