Assurance Reviews and Risk Assessments

Risk Potential Assessment Tool

The Risk Potential Assessment Tool (RPAT) provides a standard set of high-level criteria for identifying risks related to new policy proposals and assessing consequences if risks were to eventuate. The Risk Rating will help determine whether additional assurance such as Implementation Readiness Assessments or Gateway Reviews may be required.

The Risk Potential Assessment Tool (RPAT) replaces the Gateway risk Assessment Tool (GAT).

Assurance Reviews

Implementation Readiness Assessment (IRA) Reviews

The purpose of an IRA is to provide assurance to Government and agency Chief Executive on the implementation readiness of certain proposed programs.

Gateway Reviews

Gateway reviews are conducted across the implementation lifecycle, which normally would last for several years. Their purpose is to provide independent assurance and advice to the agency to improve delivery and implementation of policies, projects, programs and services.
