DFAT commissioned RSM Australia to conduct a comprehensive due diligence assessment of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in August 2024. The assessment evaluates UNRWA across 14 criteria spanning organizational capacity and risk management, including entity details, past performance, financial viability, fraud and corruption controls, proscribed list checks, child protection, and sexual exploitation prevention measures. The report applies a four-tier risk rating system ranging from low to very high risk, with detailed worksheets in attachments assessing each criterion. Specific risk ratings and detailed findings are redacted under privacy and security exemptions, though the document structure indicates DFAT was systematically evaluating UNRWA's governance, financial management, and safeguarding practices to inform funding decisions.
