A performance audit of i4Connect's delivery of the Entrepreneurs' Programme identifies and reviews materials the company accessed to prepare its 2019 tender response for the program delivery partner contract. Conducted by OCM from November 2024, the audit examines information, documents, and warranties submitted during procurement, with findings detailed across multiple risk assessment areas. The report includes appendices covering the audit's terms of reference, a prior Australian National Audit Office report (No.42 2021-22), detailed risk findings, tender response analysis, email correspondence with redactions under section 47G, i4Connect management representations, statutory declarations, and consultation outcomes. The audit operates within standard internal audit limitations, testing controls on a sample basis over a specific period and noting that findings may rest partly on unverified management representations rather than independent verification.
