The situation at the ABC is dire the Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull has asked for an efficiency audit to see where money can be cut, while there are suggestions they'll lose a $200 million contract to provide content to the Asia Pacific region.
Visible green improvements include high-efficiency LED street lighting, hybrid electric municipal vehicles, plug-in stations at municipal parking lots, energy-efficiency audits and upgrades of municipal offices and services, and small subsidies for energy and water efficiency efforts and for tree planting by homeowners.
This study contributes to our understanding of how auditors manoeuvre with their performance audit devices in different ways to make efficiency auditable.
It embraces the properties like (a) Efficiency: data auditing with least possible computational complexity; (b) Public Verifiability: to allow data auditing process delegation to a trustworthy third-party auditor (TPA) and reducing the computational burden on the client's side; (c) Detection Probability: to check potential data corruption detection probability.
From a more critical perspective, however, Selwyn (2014) notes that ideals of the digital university favoured by policymakers and policy influencers emphasize neoliberal logics of economics, efficiency, competition, audit, accounting, performance measurement, quality management, marketization, commercialization and privatization.
You may also want to consider an energy efficiency home audit to see if additional home maintenance might be needed to save on future energy bills.
However, only one prior study Gramling, (1999) has considered the role of the auditor's superiors, who may encourage subordinates to increase audit efficiency, particularly in cases where audit revenues have been reduced McNair, (1991).
Second, auditors reduced planned tests in response to partner pressure to improve audit efficiency.
These results suggest that both fee pressure and partner pressure motivate auditors to improve audit efficiency.
Moreover, fee pressure may be perceived by auditors, based on previous experience, as an implicit suggestion to improve audit efficiency.
The relevance of items was also important regarding the efficiency of the audit, as a number of items on existing tools at the time were not relevant for the study context.
