1.16 The compilation and review of the MPR continues to improve in terms of efficiency, with seven extra projects being incorporated in 2009-10, bringing the total number to 22. The DMO prepared indicative PDSSs and supporting evidence packs, which were reviewed by the ANAO during visits to all project offices prior to 30 June. This activity was completed within the agreed schedule, and as a result the ANAO observed improved efficiency, and in many cases a reduced number of exceptions were noted in the site reports compared to the previous year.
1.17 The DMO was also able to recommend to the JCPAA in September 2010 the inclusion of an additional six new projects in the 2010-11 MPR. This was provided following consultation with the ANAO, against the criteria specified by the JCPAA28.
