Abstract: This study aimed to identify the common issues frequently raised in the Malaysian Auditor General's reports, its particulars or descriptions and to investigate whether the levels of inefficiencies quoted in the Auditor General's reports keep increasing or decreasing in the period of this study. This study was based on secondary data and was supported with the feedback report received from the ministries, departments, state governments, government agencies and bodies in Malaysia, and also through Malaysian National Audit Department website in the section of auditor general's report for statutory bodies and federal government. This study found that the wastage in resources is the most critical issues faced by the government. It represents one-third or 36% from all of the issues examined in the Auditor General Report for the period of 2011 to 2013. Accordingly, this issue was also the highest issue commented in both statutory bodies and federal government. The other issues highlighted by the auditor general include poor job quality, unreasonable delay in job completion, improper payment, and unreasonable project price.
