Assessment of purchasing against core policies and procedures
As for asset management, we have comprehensive procurement guidelines set out in our Auditor-General Instructions and supporting Procedural Rules, which are derived directly from the Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines. All purchasing is bound by these Procedural Rules
under the underlying principle of ‘value for money’ and are routinely the subject of internal audit. In addition, all contractual performance is subject to evaluation. Our procurement practices are designed to protect the interests of the Australian Government.
