During the 2006-07 Budget process the Department of Treasury and Finance provided agencies with clearer guidance on the requirements for the setting of fees. Agencies and Ministers were also advised of their responsibilities in respect of reviewing fees and to ensure that the appropriate level of cost recovery is being achieved. The information and guidance provided to agencies will continue to be reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure that the advice is assisting agencies in understanding the obligations and requirements when setting fees. As noted in the Auditor-General's Report No 6, the Department of Treasury and Finance's document management processes have been revised so as to ensure compliance with the State Records Act 2000 . It is understood that the Auditor-General has followed-up on the original report and tabled this in Parliament on 30 August 2006.
