TPP19-03 Recurrent Expenditure Assurance Framework

Description

The Recurrent Expenditure Assurance Framework (REAF) is the Gateway Coordination Authority Framework for major recurrent projects under the NSW Gateway Policy (TPP17-01). The REAF requires recurrent projects above a threshold to be risk assessed and to be subject to a series of independent peer reviews at key stages in the project’s life cycle.

 

Detailed Outline

The REAF provides for independent advice and assurance to an agency’s existing internal project delivery processes and is complemented, post implementation, by the NSW Government Program Evaluation process.

The REAF requires recurrent projects requiring a recurrent investment of $100 million over the first four years or $50 million in any one year to be risk assessed. In addition, ERC, the agency or Treasury may nominate recurrent projects to be risk assessment. Risk assessment will lead to the project being classified into Tiers. The tier will determine the number and timing of Gateway Reviews that the project must undergo.
