CONTRACT GWS416 - INTERNAL AUDIT SERVICES
Internal audit is an important part of Gippsland Water’s governance framework and is seeking an internal audit function with the following key objectives:
• To provide independent and objective assurance to the Committee on the state of internal controls in the business and provide management with recommendations to enhance controls; and
• To assist management in the effective discharge of their responsibilities to the Board regarding the maintenance of an effective internal control framework by providing independent appraisals of the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control systems.
Gippsland Water is keen to ensure that the internal audit services delivered under the new contract are broad based and the appointed service provider needs to be able to deliver services beyond typical financial controls and compliance focused programmes. Internal audit activity may extend to matters related to asset maintenance and renewal programmes, infrastructure development, use of ICT in business operations, strategic and asset planning, etc.
Gippsland Water may appoint more than one service provider in order to ensure that the internal audit function can deliver effectively over the desired programme range.
Gippsland Water is seeking tenders from appropriately qualified professionals who can deliver an effective internal audit programme that meets its needs, either individually or through an alliance arrangement between more than one service provider. Any service offering based on an alliance of service providers will need to appoint a lead party that will be the primary contact point with Gippsland Water and who will assume overall responsibility for service quality and delivery to the required standard.
