OFFICE OF SHARED SERVICES - AUDITOR GENERAL’S REPORT
I ask a supplementary question. Can the Treasurer advise the estimated costs for individual agencies, because he has not really answered the question? The question was: what are the individual agency costs and the total project cost? Mr E.S. RIPPER

AnswerView source ↗

The total budget for the project is $198 million. Agencies will occur additional costs and those will vary from agency to agency. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, members! I call the members for Vasse and Capel to order. Mr E.S. RIPPER : Those costs are in the nature of the normal costs that agencies would incur with regard to their normal obligation of ensuring that data is accurate, cleansed and usable in IT systems.
