This growth has been accompanied by the development of probity guidelines by a number of central agencies and infrastructure providers across Australia.  However, these guidelines tend to focus on competitive procurement processes and ignore broader factors applying to other processes in which probity audits are also used.  Further, as there are no professional standards governing a probity audit (unlike most other types of audit), it is important that agencies have a clear understanding of their benefits and limitations and of the skills and experience required of a probity auditor before they commission one. - Reproduced  aCivil service  aAudit  aAustralian Journal of Public Administration
