Australian Government Data Governance Framework (2025) for Auditors
What does Australian Government Data Governance Framework (2025) require of a Auditor?
The Australian Government's data governance framework for public service agencies (Department of Finance, September 2025): seven key aspects of data governance (strategy and planning, privacy and safeguarding, organisational structures and the four key data roles, leadership, culture, technology, data utilisation) and a 20-item checklist for an agency's data governance strategy or statement. Under Australian Government Data Governance Framework (2025), which defines 30 controls, a Auditor's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which Australian Government Data Governance Framework (2025) controls land on the Auditor
