1.1 This chapter provides an overview of the report structure, the approach adopted by the ANAO in the review of the 2009-10 PDSSs completed by the DMO and the outcomes of the review.
1.2 The chapter also examines administrative issues raised in earlier reviews by the ANAO and progress made in 2009-10. In particular, the 2008-09 MPR review highlighted issues with the governance of Major Projects that presented challenges to the DMO including the financial control framework, the uncertainty of prospective information and the maturity of the enterprise risk management framework. These areas have remained challenging and are addressed later in this chapter, along with further issues arising from the 2009-10 review. Additionally, the chapter makes reference to other areas of focus raised by the JCPAA for consideration in the development of this and future MPRs.
