NOTE: Information about the number and value of repayments made to the Wage Subsidy Scheme as at 5 March 2021 was supplied to us by the Ministry of Social Development at the time of our audit.

We carried out a performance audit to review how well the Government has managed the Wage Subsidy Scheme. It is one of several reviews that my Office is carrying out about the Government's response to Covid-19. This report is intended to provide an independent perspective to Parliament and the public and help the public sector prepare for and operate any similar schemes in the future.
