This page relates to the 2018-21 National Land Transport Programme.
The investment assurance work programme is put together each year by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
This page explains how the work programme is put together for assurance monitoring, investment audits, and post implementation reviews.
This includes:
Waka Kotahi aims to complete an investment audit of every approved organisation within each three year National Land Transport Programme (NLTP ) cycle.
Around 25 investment audits are done each year, with a proportion of these – around ten – also including a technical review of the road network. Waka Kotahi staff are consulted as part of the selection process.
An auditor will contact each approved organisation or Waka Kotahi (state highways) in the finalised programme 4-6 weeks ahead of a planned audit to arrange a visit date and request that certain information is made available for the audit.
The following criteria are used to select which approved organisations or Waka Kotahi (state highways) to audit:
A sample of post implementation reviews are done each year selected from funded activities/programmes/packages that have been substantially complete for at least two years. This makes it more likely meaningful assessment of how well they have achieved their expected benefits can be done.
Other factors taken into consideration when selecting activities/programmes/packages for review include:
Approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways) are notified of the finalised investment assurance work programme by general circular at the beginning of each financial year.
