Comparison
Comparing values across groups
Where the reported money sits: by part of the public sector, by financial year, and measured against the archive-wide average.
Reported irregularities by audit stream
Which part of the public sector accounts for the most reported irregularities, and how does each governing period's share compare?
Reported irregularities per financial year
How big was the reported figure in each single financial year, and which governing period does it fall in?
Each stream against the all-stream average
Is a given audit stream reporting more or less than the typical stream across the whole archive?
Trend
How the record changes over time
Year-on-year movement and the running cumulative total, from the first published report to the most recent.
Reported irregularities over time, by governing period
Has the reported figure risen or fallen year to year, and how do the governing periods track against each other?
Cumulative reported total, stacked by audit stream
How has the running total accumulated since FY2010, and which streams drive the growth?
Composition
Parts of the whole
What the total is made of — by government, by type of irregularity, and by the relative weight of each audit stream.
Share of the reported total by governing period
Of everything the Auditor-General has reported since FY2010, what proportion falls in each governing period?
Share by type of irregularity
What kinds of irregularity make up the total — cash, payroll, tax, procurement, contracts, debts or rent?
Proportional weight of each audit stream
Sized by money rather than by count — how much of the archive does each part of the public sector represent?
Distribution
How the numbers spread out
Whether the total comes from many ordinary findings or a few extraordinary ones, and how steady each stream is year to year.
How large is a typical single finding?
Are most itemised findings modest sums, or is the total driven by a handful of very large ones?
Spread of annual totals within each audit stream
Is a stream steady year to year, or does one exceptional year dominate its record?
Relationship
Connections between year, stream and type
Cross-cutting views that put two or three variables on the same surface, so patterns show up that a single bar chart would hide.
Every itemised finding, plotted by year and size
Where do the individual findings cluster, and do the largest ones fall in particular years?
Stream against year, sized by amount
Which stream-and-year combinations carry the most weight, and where are reports missing entirely?
Year by irregularity type
Which type of irregularity dominated in which year? The densest single view of the archive.
