Paris Studio Barry Pearce – Head Curator, Australian Art, Victoria Lynn – Curator, Contemporary Art PLANNING, RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL AUDIT Corporate Plan and Total Asset Management Plan The Art Gallery finalised its Corporate Plan and its Total Asset Management Plan. The Corporate Plan contains the Gallery’s comprehensive vision, goals, and strategies for the next five years. Details are included in the Aim, Objective and Performance Indicators Section. The Total Asset Management Plan (TAM) was developed for submission to the NSW Government. TAM entail analysis of our capital expenditure program and the relationship with the services being provided. Risk Management and Insurance The Art Gallery, as a NSW Government Agency, continues to be insured by the Treasury Managed Fund, a government self insurance scheme administered by the GIO. There were no significant claims on this scheme during the year. The annual premium amounted to $1 million reflecting the value of the State asset holdings of the Gallery’s permanent art Collection and our heritage building plus the loaned temporary exhibition art holdings. Internal Audit Reviews were conducted during the year on, IT network management, GST compliance, Contractual arrangements relation to the Brett Whiteley Studio, Tax compliance. Recommendations were carefully considered, policies and procedures were revised where appropriate and remedial action taken to improve internal controls. An action plan was developed to address IT matters with a timetable for implementation. The sub-committee of the Board of Trustees was renamed ‘Finance and Audit’ to re-affirm the importance of the Board’s role in audit matters. The cost of internal audit work is borne by the Ministry for the Arts from a central allocation of funds for the Arts Portfolio.
