The audit was undertaken to assess compliance of timber harvesting activities with the specified
components of the existing regulatory framework. The audit did not directly assess the efficacy of the
framework and associated systems and documents. Recommendations have been provided in a
small number of cases where the Auditor considers, based on audit findings, that documented
procedures or practices do not adequately address the intent of the Code or other mandatory
requirements and the recommendation can add value in continuing to improve environmental
outcomes.
