- Summary:
-
The ANAO found that the AEC generally had a sound corporate governance ramework. In particular, the AEC's system of internal review and its operational procedures, guidelines and training were generally satisfactory. The ANAO found that AEC's control structures, which underpin financial planning, monitoring and reporting, could be improved as follows: (1) financial planning could be enhanced by explicitly linking the financial planning process to the National operational plan 1997-98 to ensure that resoource allocations are made in line with identified business priorities; (2) in rationalising its committee structure and the links between various committees, the AEC needs to ensure that resource allocations are developed in line with overall business needs; the potential for duplication or gaps in the consideration of appropriate resource allocations is reduced; and the approval process is simplified in line with the requirements of sound corporate governance; and (3) better management of the outsourced property management contract could be achieved by ensuring that information is collected against identified performance standards and used to determine whether the AEC is achieving value for money as well as anticipated savings. indust
