Section 23 (1) of the PAA requires that the AG determines the basis for the calculation of audit fees to be recovered from auditees in respect of audits performed. AGSA is increasing the audit tariffs by 5.7 per cent in 2013/14 financial year. The tariffs increase is affected by the market related salary increase of 8.1 per cent. The salary increase is one of the major cost drivers that determine the budget of AGSA in 2013/14 financial year.
