The criteria that have been used to conduct review are based on the Guidelines and include whether the DMO has procedures in place designed to ensure that project information and data was recorded in a complete and accurate manner for each project.
I have conducted the review of the PDSSs, as explained in the above Scope section, for the 22 project by making such enquires and performing such procedures as I, in my professional judgement, considered reasonable in the circumstance including:
● an examination of each PDSS;
● a review of relevant procedures and Guidelines used by DMO to prepare the PDSSs;
● a review of documents and information relevant to the PDSSs,
● an assessment of the DMO's systems and controls in place to ensure PDSS information is accurate and complete;
● interviews with persons responsible for the preparation of the PDSSs and those responsible for the management of the 22 projects;
● taking account of industry contractor comments on draft PDSS information; and
● an examination of the statements and managements representation by the CEO DMO and senior DMO managers, and confirmations from the three ADF Service Chiefs concerning, the overall accuracy and completeness of the PDSSs, including the status of initial and final operational capability.
A review of this nature less assurance than an audit.
