What we examined

Our audit followed 2 lines of inquiry:

1. Do departments' processes to procure, manage and report on contractor and consultant engagements comply with relevant guidelines?

2. Can departments demonstrate that their use of contractors and consultants achieves value for money?

To answer these questions, we examined:

VicRoads joint venture performance

Body

We plan to examine if the VicRoads registration and licensing joint venture is achieving its intended benefits.

Modernising myki

Body

This audit examined if the myki modernisation project for public transport ticketing is on track to deliver a system that will work as expected and achieve value for money.

Maintaining the condition of state-managed roads

Body

We plan to examine if the Department of Transport and Planning is effectively maintaining state managed roads and identify areas where asset management practices could be improved.

Improving Bus Services

Body

We examined if Melbourne's bus services are meeting transport users' needs.

Timely Payments Performance

Body

In 2021 the Victorian government amended the Fair Payments Policy. Agencies under the amended Policy must pay invoices for contracts under $3 million within 10 business days. We conducted this review to see if agencies were paying on time, and if publicly reported information about payment timeliness was accurate and transparent.
