Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative reports

Australia is a supporting country to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), a global standard for good governance of oil, gas and mineral resources.

A multi-stakeholder group (comprising government, industry and civil society) completed an EITI pilot from 2011 to 2014. They tested EITI rules and principles against Australian conditions.

Since the pilot, the standard has been revised. It now includes requirements not considered in the pilot.

KPMG undertook a gap analysis between Australia’s EITI pilot and the 2016 version of the EITI standard.
