The audit assessed whether suitable controls and mechanisms were in place at the Department of Public Works and Queensland Health to support the effective delivery of the Queensland Health Implementation of Continuity Project.

In general, the results of these audits further emphasise the need for significant improvement in program and project governance, including up front and ongoing scope management, vigorous controls over budgets, and comprehensive testing and implementation regimes. Specific attention must also be given to the development of robust benefit management plans to ensure that the Government achieves appropriate returns on these multi million dollar investments.
