"Notably he is independent of all three branches of Government and acts as a check on all three," he said, calling it "an intricately balanced position unseen anywhere else".

"The Act should therefore be revamped to provide the Auditor-General with a mandate to audit these entities (even though not prescribed under any law), alongside removing the unnecessary requirements for an entity's request and approval from the minister."

"The Act should incorporate performance audits against excess, extravagance and inefficiency amounting to waste as part of the scope of audit in this new age of accountability beyond regularity."

The suggestions by the author is not going to happen because it would allow the AG to audit as he pleases and he can audit Temasek and GIC.

The Auditor-General
has already been told that some ministries are off limits to his audits. That is why you will never see the biggest budget user, MINDEF, being the subject of its audits. Otherwise, they will find so many corruption and inefficiencies, it will boggle the mind. If there are places that the auditor cannot go, then he is just a wayang shit useless auditor.
