1 Executive summary
1.1 Background
A pre-qualified supplier (PQS) audit has been conducted in accordance with the approved 2018–19 Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT) PQS Audit Plan. Your registered training organisation (RTO) provides services that underpin the delivery of VET Investment Plan program outcomes to Queensland students.
This report summarises the Department’s assessment of PQS operations within the audit scope, including maturity ratings for the areas reviewed; and focus areas identified which may affect capacity to sustain compliance.
Please note that Appendix 4 contains the summary of key non-compliances, within the audit report for the purposes of identification and provision of details. Any action regarding the recovery of any identified ‘overpayments’, as detailed within Clause 8 of your PQS Agreement, may be progressed separately by Contract Management.
1.2 Objective and scope
The objective of the audit was to assess compliance with the requirements of PQS agreements. The audit also examines the design and operational effectiveness of PQS controls as indicators for risk of non-compliance.
The scope included a review of:
PQS governance, planning and risk management in relation to PQS agreements
PQS agreement delivery i.e. evidence of operating in accordance with the terms of
the PQS agreement/s, including relevant policies and evidence requirements

Table 4 Maturity rating key
A three point scale used to measure PQS Agreement controls.
Maturity rating Rating definition
Achieving / enhancing
Good governance structures; strong policies and procedures; routine performance management; sound internal controls that are ‘embedded’ and ‘understood’. Unmitigated risks of ‘low’ priority only.
Developing / emerging
Improvements required – governance, policies and procedures, performance management; internal controls that ‘exist’ but are not ‘embedded’ or ‘understood’. Unmitigated risks of ‘medium’ or ‘high’ priority.
Learning /
beginning
Significant weaknesses – governance, policies and procedures setting, performance management; weak internal controls that do not ‘exist’ or are not ‘defined’. Several unmitigated risks of ‘medium’, ‘high’ or ’extreme’ priority.
1.3.3 Root causes and risk issues
The specific evidentiary requirements detailed within the PQS Agreement/s, the related Funding Program Policies and the PQS Audit Evidence Requirement/s were not sufficiently encapsulated in the PQS’s policies and procedures which may lead to an ineffective governance and assurance framework.
The PQS record of participation in training and subsequent process does not capture all required information.
The PQS process for recording and retaining assessment materials does not capture all required information.
The PQS process for determining recognition of prior learning and the retention of associated assessment materials does not capture all required information.

2.1 Governance, planning and risk management
2.1.1 Assurance framework
The framework presented did not incorporate all funding program compliance requirements.
Risk identified
Review and update the policies and procedures to support:
The achievement and management of compliance with the Pre-Qualified Supplier Agreement.
The supplier’s commitment to continuous improvement.
High
2.1.2 Policies and procedures
While it was evident that policies and procedures sighted provided clarity to address a number of compliance obligations, the documentation requires revision to incorporate specific funding policy requirements.
Risk identified
High
2.1.3 Information management systems
In the majority of cases, the documentation completed is undertaken as a paper-based system, which is retained in a hardcopy student file. However, the current records retention process could increase the risk of inappropriate disposal of records required to be retained in accordance with the Pre-qualified Supplier Agreement

Appendix 1 Priority focus area ratings
Priority focus area ratings have been assigned to the findings raised in this report as outlined below. They are assigned in order to provide assistance to PQS in relation to focusing the action that needs to be taken based on the audit findings. They are not a departmental rating of importance.
Priority focus area Attributes
Extreme An extreme weakness in the PQS control environment. Findings point to serious ongoing risk of not meeting the requirements of the PQS agreement.
High A significant weakness in the PQS control environment. Findings indicate an unacceptable level of ongoing risk of not meeting the requirements of the PQS agreement.
Medium A moderate weakness in the PQS control environment. Findings point to ongoing risk of not meeting the requirements of the PQS agreement.
Low A minor weakness in the PQS control environment. Findings point to minimal or no ongoing risk to meeting the requirements of the PQS agreement.
Internal control improvement opportunity (ICIO)
There is an opportunity to improve efficiency and effectiveness of current processes that, if not actioned, may result in not meeting the requirements of the PQS agreement.
Priority levels at the medium level and higher may be escalated to executive management via the PQS Review Panel to consider an appropriate response, if required.

The total number of students included in the audit sample may not have been sampled across every audit focus areas for the programs audited.
3 Focus
This was conducted as a full monitoring audit to evaluate PQS compliance with the
agreement/s.
The audit incorporated the review of AVETMISS data submitted by the PQS within
the 26 July 2017 – 8 March 2019 time period.
The PQS has five other qualifications on their delivery scope for this agreement. Not
all qualifications on the delivery scope were included because claim numbers were
too low for inclusion in the sample.
The audit activity commenced with an initial review of controls and assurances the
PQS has implemented to support service delivery against its agreements and
departmental policy.
This was followed by fieldwork including student file review conducted over three
days, Tuesday 12 March 2019 – Thursday 14 March 2019, to analyse the sufficiency
and accuracy of evidence retained by the PQS to support funding payments received
from the Department. The student file review component also allowed validation of
the effectiveness of internal controls implemented by the PQS to address its
compliance responsibilities.
