Our 20th On the Couch series features Margaret Crawford FIPAA, the Auditor-General of New South Wales.

ABOUT THIS EVENT 

Stewards of the Sector is a series of informal interviews with key leaders of the public sector. Hosted by former ABC journalist, Monica Attard, these interviews explore the person behind the role, their influences and priorities, and their insights into the future of the public sector. 

Our special guest for this event is Margaret Crawford FIPAA.  As Auditor-General, Ms Crawford is responsible for helping parliament hold government accountable for its use of public resources. The Audit Office’s role includes conducting financial audits to provide an independent opinion on NSW Government agencies’ financial statements and performance audits to review whether taxpayers' money is spent efficiently.  The Audit Office also conducts financial and performance audits within the NSW local government sector.

Previous On the Couch interviewees have included Glenn King FIPAA (Secretary, Customer Service), Emma Hogan (Public Service Commissioner), Damon Rees (Chief Executive Officer, Service NSW), Sonja Stewart (Deputy Secretary, Department of Premier and Cabinet), Tim Reardon (Secretary of Transport for NSW), Jeannine Biviano (Deputy Secretary, Government and Corporate Services of Department of Finance, Services and Innovation), Mark Scott (Secretary NSW Department of Education) and Elizabeth Koff (Secretary of NSW Health).

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

Ms Crawford has over 20 years of experience as a senior executive across many large, complex public sector organisations including local, State and the Commonwealth governments.  Throughout this varied career, her key focus in each role has been to transform and improve outcomes for customers, often the most vulnerable citizens in the community.  

This is an opportunity to hear first-hand about Margaret's leadership style and aspirations in an informal interview conducted by an award-winning journalist. The interview concludes with a brief Q&A session with questions from the audience.

All IPAA events include purposeful networking which allows you to:

• Build relationships with the speaker/s and fellow guests
• Develop your capabilities 
• Establish connections across the NSW public sector.

FACILITATOR

Monica Attard


Monica spent 28 years at the ABC working across radio and television. She was the ABC’s Russia correspondent at possibly the best time in modern history to be a Russian correspondent. She reported on the coup against Mikhail Gorbachev, the collapse of Soviet communism, the rise of Boris Yeltsin and his peculiar brand of capitalism and democracy, the first Chechen war and she covered civil wars across the old Soviet Union. Four years of covering the revolution left her with just enough energy to pump out a book about the events. Monica is now working with CNN International and The Hoopla, a women’s website, based in Sydney.
