Our annual reports are audited independently by the
Auditor-General. The audits are carried out according to requirements in the
Local Government Act 2002. The following parts of the annual reports are audited:
- financial statements
- service performance information.
The following parts of the annual reports are not audited:
- climate statements
- any introductory messages by the mayor or chief executive
- any other information on our website
- any links in the audited documents.
What historic annual reports provide
These historic annual reports set out how we contributed to the Auckland Plan outcomes.
They explain:
- what we achieved each year
- what we delivered against the 10-year budget (long-term plan) and annual budget (annual plan), or the equivalent documents of the legacy (previous) council organisations.
The annual reports since 2010 include information from our
council-controlled organisations (CCOs) and
Port of Auckland, each of which produce their own annual reports.
Historic annual reports for our CCOs and Port of Auckland are available on their websites.
