Evaluation Process for the Shared Systems Suite

Following an initial selection through a process of inviting expressions of interest, OGIT issued a restricted Request for Proposal for Human Resource Management Systems and Financial Management Information Systems. OGIT sought the services of the ANAO to provide an opinion on the probity of the methodology and procedures applied in the process of evaluation of tenders for acceptance to the Shared Systems Suite. The ANAO also agreed to review the formal procedures developed by OGIT and to test their operation to enable the ANAO to form an opinion, with a reasonable degree of assurance, on whether the evaluation process accords with the Commonwealth Purchasing Guidelines for open and effective competition and consideration for the development of Australian and New Zealand industry.

Tax Debt Collection

The purpose of the audit was to examine how efficiently and effectively the ATO managed its collection of outstanding tax debt. A framework for analysing the ATO's approach to collecting outstanding debt was established by the ANAO. This framework reflected five key criteria in the collection process as they apply to managing outstanding debt, namely:

  • initiatives to promote timely payment;
  • identification of outstanding debt;
  • setting priorities for collecting outstanding debt;
  • management of collection practices; and
  • collection results.

Accounting for Aid - The Management of Funding to Non-Government Organisations

The objective of the audit was to review AusAID's management of funding to Non-Government Organisations, to assess whether:

  • the objectives of overseas development programs to be delivered by NGOs were clearly established;
  • funding mechanisms for the delivery of aid programs by NGOs were clearly defined, consistently applied, and in compliance with the law; and
  • whether AusAID could provide assurances that NGOs delivering development projects using Commonwealth monies are accountable for: proper expenditure of Commonwealth monies; the achievement of stated objectives; and the achievement of value for money.

The ANAO examined AusAID documentation on overseas development programs delivered by NGOs, looking particularly for clear objectives, performance measures, and evaluation mechanisms. Three levels of documentation were examined:

  • government programs;
  • grants schemes; and
  • individual projects.

The audit sought to identify areas for improvement in the formulation of longer-term arrangements.
