Auditing of Visitor Data by Events Tasmania

As part of the government audit process a number of events will be selected for an independent audit. The following information will be required should your organisation be audited:

• You will need to substantiate the information in the Statutory Declaration form you have submitted. This will mean providing your completed spreadsheets and survey forms you used to collect this information.
• You will also need to verify the methodologies you used while collecting this data (who collected it, how was it collected, where was it collected and what questions were asked at the time).
