ANAO found all four DTA procurement samples reviewed had incorrect AusTender reporting, with 112 late filings in a single year — the worst compliance rate of any agency sampled. Separately, fraud allegations relating to the DTA's $1B IBM whole-of-government Digital Marketplace arrangement are under investigation by the Australian Federal Police. The DTA was established specifically to improve government technology procurement standards.

$1.0B of Australian taxpayer money was misappropriated at Digital Transformation Agency. ANAO found all four DTA procurement samples reviewed had incorrect AusTender reporting, with 112 late filings in a single year — the worst compliance rate of any agency sampled. Separately, fraud allegations relating to the DTA's $1B IBM whole-of-government Digital Marketplace arrangement are under investigation by the Australian Federal Police. The DTA was established specifically to improve government technology procurement standards.
Spread across Australia's 10.8 million households, that's roughly $93 per family — enough in total for funding roughly 8 public hospitals for a full year.
The agency CREATED to fix government tech procurement can't file its own contracts correctly. All 4 ANAO samples had wrong AusTender data. Plus: AFP investigating $1B IBM fraud allegations. This is the DTA. @reckonerAU
Every share puts pressure on the people responsible. Make it impossible to ignore.
I send every new finding. Daily. No fluff.
