This report serves two broad purposes:
- It constitutes our "annual report" on the 2005/06 audits of the Government reporting entity and its subentities – mainly as reflected in the Financial Statements of the Government of New Zealand for the Year Ended 30 June 2006 (the Government financial statements), parliamentary paper B.11 2006.
- It brings to attention a number of other matters (related both directly and indirectly to events occurring in the financial year 2005/06) that we believe warrant consideration by Parliament.
