Abstract
This article traces the challenges encountered in the development of appropriate guidance for an Australian public sector organization embarking on meeting its legislated responsibility of carrying out audits of natural resource management practices and performance, a new and challenging field of audit. The evidence suggests that the development of such guidance is complex, involving significant research development and innovation in which the current array of existing standards or guidance on sustainability and audit were of limited value.
