In the case of the Anindilyakwa Land Council (ALC), it is an Aboriginal organisation operating under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 and as a statutory authority under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act. The Anindilyakwa Land Council Code of Conduct highlights key accountability aspects: To ensure accountability, you are required to: • Continuously improve your performance in delivering services • Utilise resources at your disposal in an efficient, responsible, and accountable manner • Provide responsive, effective, and efficient services to stakeholders • Deal with information gained as a result of your work only in accordance with the requirements of the ALC • Maintain structures, systems and processes that work without excessive formality and that can adapt to changing demands • Respect ALC’s ownership of all of its funds, equipment, supplies, books, records, and property • Seek approval prior to using ALC’s equipment, property, or consumables for private purposes.104 The ALC is also subject to annual auditing under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act and the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013. Interestingly, for the 2023 audit, the Australian National Audit Office proposes to examine whether the accountable authority is effectively governing its legislative functions under the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act and welcomes public submissions on the performance of ALC.105 In this context, the accountable authority specifically references the CEO and the Chairman of the ALC Board. The ALC Board comprises clan representatives from the Indigenous clans within the ALC area and one community representative from each of the communities of Angurugu, Umbakumba and Milyakburra.106 43
