Public Audit Act 2001

Miscellaneous provisions

44: Amendments to Schedule 2

You could also call this:

"Changes to the list of public entities"

Illustration for Public Audit Act 2001

The Governor-General can change Schedule 2 from time to time. You can think of Schedule 2 as a list of public entities. The Governor-General can add a new entity to the list, remove an entity that no longer exists, or correct the name of an entity. The Minister of Finance must check some things before recommending that an entity be added to Schedule 2. When the Governor-General makes an order to change Schedule 2, it is called secondary legislation, and you can find out more about what that means by looking at Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
