  1. ID FINANCE MANAGEMENT OF ASSETS UNDER CONSTRUCTION - INFRASTRUCTURE DIVISION ID Finance 3 May 2013

  2. Overview • What are CFI’s obligations in relation to: • Demolition of assets; • Management and recording assets under construction and project expenditure during the course of project delivery; • Rolling out Assets Under Construction.

  3. Demolitions • Timely demolition notification is problematic • Results in audit findings as asset balances are incorrect • The ‘Notification of Asset Demolition/ Write-Off’ form must be completed by the project and provided to CFI Finance team on demolition of asset • …..and must be approved by SES Band 1 or above (DGCFI or HI). http://intranet.defence.gov.au/dsg/sites/chkDoc.asp?S=1208&D=88961&URL=docs/demolition-write_off_form.xls

  4. Expense or Asset?? Expense Decontamination Demolitions Scoping studies Environmental assessments Rework – where no increase in capability of asset Asset (Capitalise to AUC) Design PMCA fees Site Preparation Contractor/consultant costs attributable to the construction of buildings/infrastructure Purchase of minor equipment (office furniture and fitouts etc) - 04 ICT hardware/software – 06 Critical travel

  5. Decontamination • Accounting Standards requirement to record a provision for decontamination of Defence property as part of the annual financial statements. • CFI contribution: • Notification of contamination – forecast cost to decontaminate • Track expenditure on decontamination activity (separate WBS element within project and GL account 25058) Mirjana Zec in EE Branch – finance person responsible for managing the provision for decontamination for all of Defence.

  6. AUC Rollouts • Assets under Construction must be rolled out when the asset is available for use. • For buildings this may be indicated by the Certificate of Occupancy being achieved and meeting required compliance standards. • This means rollout of assets throughout the term of the project, not just at the end. (Note that rollouts to the same asset shell can occur more than once) • Forms to be provided (electronically) to CFI finance team for notification of rollout must include: • Notification of completion – signed by Project Mgr • Completed rollout form (separate form for each asset class, i.e. buildings, infrastructure, ICT)

  7. Focused Improvements…. 1. Asset delivery schedule for each project • To be monitored regularly by project and finance support team. 2.Create Work Breakdown Structures for projects which are reflective of how the project will be delivered. If possible, assign a particular WBS element to delivery of an individual asset • PMCA to align their reporting to our module… 3. Timely rollout of assets as individual assets for projects are delivered and put into use. 4.Ensure WBS element is created and used for decontamination on every site.

  8. ANAO Audit 2012-13 • Focus on all the aspects of asset and AUC management: • Impairment • Rollouts • Correct recording of project expenditure • Write off of demolished assets • Governance Reports • No audit samples have been received at this stage, however, focus will be on projects which have: • Indicators of impairment; or • Delayed rollouts; or • Undergone contractor insolvency period; or • Have received liquidated damages.

  9. Help and Support Creating an appropriate WBS to suit the project delivery objectives Advice on expense vs. capital costs for projects Assistance with determining asset rollout values Notification of demolition forms Audit liaison and support
