The objectives of the audit were to:

  • examine Customs' management of the CMR project; and
  • determine whether the ICS and CCF met:
    • project and operational objectives; and
    • user capability and functionality requirements.

Particular emphasis was given to the following areas:

  • the project management framework that supported the CMR project;
  • implementation arrangements for the ICS; and
  • ongoing operational arrangements.

After this audit commenced, Customs engaged Booz Allen Hamilton to undertake a separate review of the ICS. The purpose of that review was to provide Customs with a forward looking report on the lessons to be learned from the implementation of the ICS, its current status and the opportunities to enhance benefits for both Government and industry. The ANAO consulted closely with the Booz Allen Hamilton team and is supportive of the recommendations in their report, which was released in May 2006. The review made thirteen recommendations relating to the ongoing management and governance of the Cargo Management Re-engineering Program at both strategic and tactical levels.

The objectives of this audit were to:

  • provide assurance to the Parliament on the effectiveness of internal audit operations; and
  • determine whether internal audit generally operates at, or near, recognised better practice.

The criteria used to measure internal audit effectiveness were based on four principles developed as part of the audit. These principles and criteria deal with the level of management support and authority; the use of a risk-focus to address client needs; the appropriate balance of skills and knowledge; and the use made of continuous improvement processes and measurement of performance effectiveness.
