Eloque: the joint venture between Department of Transport and Xerox

Overview

We plan to determine whether VicTrack and Department of Transport’s decision to enter into the Eloque joint venture arrangement was transparent, evidence-based and free from bias.

Why this is important

This audit is important to ensure government investments of public money are appropriately informed and consistent with policies and principles.  

What we plan to examine

This limited assurance engagement will focus on Eloque, a joint venture between the Victorian government and Xerox, a US technology company, to develop and roll out remote sensing technology that monitors the structural health of bridges. Eloque collapsed in September 2022, 16 months after its establishment.
