QuestionView source ↗
I refer to findings in both the KPMG internal audit of the Head Contractor Maintenance Model (March 2012) that found 'the risk of human error and fraud still exists' and also to the Auditor General's report some seven months later that made the same conclusion, adding 'housing needs to strengthen its processes and abilities in this area to address the perception of, and the potential occurrence of fraudulent activity' and I ask —
(1) Has a structured fraud risk analysis ever been done in relation to the head contractor housing maintenance model?
(2) If yes to (1), what date was this analysis done, and by whom?
(3) Does the Department of Housing have a fraud policy?
(4) Is there a specialised fraud policy or guideline/framework to assist auditing and compliance staff in identifying and referring potential fraud within the housing maintenance model?
(5) Is there any commitment within the Department of Housing to implement fraud risk strategies?
(6) If yes to (5), by what date?
