Hear the Auditor General’s departing reflections on the sector at this exclusive event

About this event

IPAA NSW occupies a privileged position working with leaders across the NSW public sector. Our Valedictory series allows departing senior leaders to provide their observations and comments in a public address. 

Integrity has been the guiding principle for Margaret Crawford PSM, who made history in New South Wales as the first woman to lead the agency overseeing public sector accountability across the state.

Why you should attend 

This is your opportunity to hear from a distinguished leader in the public sector about current issues facing the state.

Strengthen your understanding of the unique responsibilities of the public sector by listening to Margaret share her insights on working in the public sector.   

At least 25% of this event is also allocated to questions from the floor, meaning that you will have the opportunity to play an active part in this discussion.
