No. 2
Para. 0
OGIA Response Agreed
The ANAO recommends that for the purposes of
accountability OGIA reviews relevant policy
documents, including quality procedures, to ensure
that:
• all key decisions taken during the process for
selection of consultants are adequately
documented to ensure transparency and
accountability;
• the relevant procedures clearly define the
responsibility for documentation at each stage
of the selection process;
• the policy on changes to proposals by
competing firms is clearly defined and offers
adequate guidance to relevant officers if
significant changes occur; and
• the methodology for assessments is
documented and includes the requirement to
rank agencies on merit unless special
circumstances, (which also should be
appropriately documented) apply.
