Review of Auditor-General's Reports 2000-01: Fourth Quarter
Recommendation 1
The Committee recommends that Defence:
- review its Army Reserve structure in order to develop a more efficient and effective structure which complements, rather than unnecessarily duplicates, capabilities that exist in the full time component; and
- provide to the Committee formal six-monthly progress reports, separately from the Executive Minute process, on the progress of the review.
Recommendation 2
The Committee recommends that Defence give urgent attention to developing its financial and management systems to enable it to provide full costing of the Reserve forces.
Recommendation 3
The Committee recommends that Defence commission an external study of the reasons for separation from the Reserve, and commission further studies on this issue from time to time.
Recommendation 4
The Committee recommends that the Department of Family and Community Services (i) finalise as quickly as possible, its strategy to enable independent validation of Centrelink's performance, taking the Auditor-General's recommendations into account; and (ii) provide a copy of this agreed strategy to the Committee.
