Administration of the Automotive Competitiveness and Investment Scheme

The current audit has focussed on Stage 2 of the Scheme. Its objective was to assess whether ACIS is being administered effectively by DIISR and, as relevant, by Customs. In particular, the audit examined the department's arrangements for:

  • assessing the eligibility of participants to receive duty credits;
  • calculating duty credits accurately and adhering to the funding limits for the Scheme;
  • checking the integrity of participants' claims, which are self-assessed;
  • accounting for the duty credits transferred to and used at Customs; and
  • measuring and reporting on the performance of ACIS.

The audit also followed up on whether the ANAO's previous recommendations have been addressed.

Electronic Travel Authority Follow-up Audit

The objective of this audit is to examine DIAC's implementation of the nine recommendations made in the earlier audit. The audit has also taken into account changed circumstances since the original audit. These include a heightened security environment after 11 September 2001 and the results of other relevant ANAO performance audit and financial statement work. The audit also examined ETA decision-making processes to gain assurance about its robustness in a changing risk environment. This issue came to attention in recent audits of visa management processes.
