Government service delivery through the Internet presents both significant opportunities and challenges in the delivery of on-line services. Depending on the level of sophistication of the application, the Internet allows Commonwealth agencies to publish information, interact with clients in the exchange of information, and/or transact business electronically. The over-all objective of this audit was to determine Commonwealth agencies' preparedness to achieve the Government's goal of all appropriate services being Internet-deliverable by 2001. The audit sought to assess:

  • the extent to which agencies considered that they would be able to achieve that goal;
  • what type of services agencies were delivering or planning to deliver on the Internet; and
  • whether agencies had identified barriers and possible solutions to that delivery.
