My review encompassed the information in each PDSS, including the cost, schedule performance, and capability delivered against contracted requirements, but did not include an assessment of the following information, which is outside the scope of the review agreed with the CEO DMO:

(a) Table 1.2 (Major Challenges), Table 4.1 (Major Project Risks), and Table 4.2 (Major Project Issues);

(b) Table 3.5 (Measures of Effectiveness); and

(c) 'Forecasts' of future dates regarding a project's expected achievement of delivery schedules and capability where included in Sections 1,3 and 4 of each PDSS.

The above information has been scoped out the review because by their nature, the identification of Major Project Risks and Issues and the achievement of future outcomes (Measures of Effectiveness) and future dates relate to events and depend on circumstances that have not yet occurred or may not occur, or have occurred but have not yet been identified. Accordingly, the conclusion of this review does not provide any assurance in relation to this information.
