Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

These regulations name particular organisations as "public authorities" under the Public Finance and Audit Act (several state universities and the South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service), specify the Local Government Finance Authority as a prescribed investment counterparty, fix the Auditor‑General's declaration form, set the annual report date (30 September) and set a $5 threshold for small refunds/recoveries. They affect the named bodies (which must comply with the Act's finance and audit rules), the Treasurer's investment choices, and the Auditor‑General's reporting formalities, producing modest administrative and financial effects.
