The Auditor‑General must, within 2 months after the end of each designated period, prepare a report on—

the extent to which money has been made available or expended within the $535 million limit specified by this Part during the designated period; and

the state of the public accounts that are relevant to the redevelopment of Adelaide Oval envisaged by this Act; and

the extent to which it appears that public money made available to any entity, including an entity that is not a public authority, for the purposes of, or in connection with, the redevelopment of Adelaide Oval envisaged by this Act has been properly and efficiently managed and used during the designated period.

The Auditor‑General may, at any time (without further authorisation), audit or examine the accounts of a public authority or SMA in order to prepare a report under subsection (1).

Furthermore, the Auditor‑General must in any event audit the accounts of SMA each year and include a report on that audit in the Auditor‑General's annual report.

The Auditor‑General may, for the purposes of subsections (1), (2) and (3) exercise any power that the Auditor‑General has in relation to an audit or examination under Part 3 of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1987 (and that Part will apply in relation to the exercise of any such power under this section as if the power were exercised under that Act and as if any reference to a public authority included a reference to an entity that is the subject of an audit or examination under this section).

The Auditor‑General must, after completing a report under subsection (1), deliver copies of the report to the President of the Legislative Council and the Speaker of the House of Assembly.

When the President of the Legislative Council and the Speaker of the House of Assembly receive a report from the Auditor‑General under this section, the President and the Speaker must—

immediately cause the report to be published; and

lay the report before their respective Houses at the earliest opportunity.

If the President of the Legislative Council or the Speaker of the House of Assembly is absent at the time the Auditor‑General delivers to the Parliament a report under this section, the Clerk of the relevant House will receive the report on behalf of the President or Speaker (as the case may be) (and the report or document will then be taken to have been received by the President or the Speaker).

If a report is received by the President of the Legislative Council or the Speaker of the House of Assembly at a time when Parliament is not sitting, the report will be taken to have been published under subsection (6)(a) at the expiration of 1 clear day after the day of receipt of the report.

A report or document will, when published under subsection (6)(a), be taken for the purposes of any other Act or law to be a report of the Parliament published under the authority of the Legislative Council and the House of Assembly.
