during the year. The annual premium amounted to<br />
$1 million reflecting the value <strong>of</strong> the State asset holdings<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Gallery’s permanent art Collection and our heritage<br />
building plus the loaned temporary exhibition art holdings.<br />

Recommendations were care<strong>full</strong>y considered, policies and<br />
procedures were revised where appropriate and remedial<br />
action taken to improve internal controls. An action plan<br />
was developed to address IT matters with a timetable for<br />
implementation. The sub-committee <strong>of</strong> the Board <strong>of</strong><br />
Trustees was renamed ‘Finance and Audit’ to re-affirm the<br />
importance <strong>of</strong> the Board’s role in audit matters. The cost<br />
<strong>of</strong> internal audit work is borne by the Ministry for the Arts<br />
from a central allocation <strong>of</strong> funds for the Arts Portfolio.<br />
