Illustration for Crown Entities Act 2004

You have to prepare a report on what your Crown entity did each year. You must do this as soon as possible after the end of each financial year. You give the report to your Minister after you get the audit report from section 156. You must give the report to your Minister no later than 15 working days after you get the audit report. Your Minister then presents the report to the House of Representatives within 5 working days. If Parliament is not in session, your Minister presents the report as soon as possible after the next session starts. You must publish your annual report as soon as possible after it is presented to the House of Representatives. You must do this within 10 working days of your Minister getting the report, and follow any instructions from section 174. Your report can be in a document with other reports or information, but each report must be easy to find. Another Minister can present your report if it is in a document with another report they are responsible for. This other Minister must be responsible for presenting the other report or information.
