The overall objective of the audit was to assess AusAID's management of commercial contracts to deliver Australia's overseas aid program. To this end, the audit examined whether:
- there are sound supporting structures for contract management;
- AusAid effectively manages risks;
- contracts clearly define deliverables;
- services are delivered and payments are made in accordance with the contract;
- there are appropriate arrangements to manage contractor performance;
- strategies appropriately assess and allocate risk between AusAid and contractors; and
- contracts deliver the desired aid outcomes.
