About the W.S. Lonnie Awards
The primary vehicle for accountability in the WA government sector has been and always will be the way entities report their performance.

It encourages and celebrates excellence in annual reporting, which is central to good corporate governance.
The Institute organises and host these important annual awards which recognise and highlight excellence and improved accountability standards in annual reporting across the WA government sector. This is a mammoth task as all WA government sector entities are eligible and considered as part of the judging process.
