In assessing the state's management of its involvement in the design and construction phase of the project the audit examined whether:
• there are effective governance arrangements in place to enable the state to effectively oversee, manage and govern its involvement
• there are effective management systems and processes in place to enable the state to effectively oversee and manage its involvement
• key performance criteria and standards for the construction phase exist and are monitored and enforced by the state
• incentives and sanctions/penalties relating to non-performance during the construction phase exist and are able to be enforced where necessary
• risks during the construction phase are comprehensively identified, documented and actively managed.
