Gawler Modernisation Project

In reply to Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (29 October 2015).

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development): I have been advised:

1. The $0.002 million interest relates to a timing issue only and the department liaises with the Commonwealth to determine the best application of any unspent funds and interest generated.

2. Shared Services SA process accounts payable invoices on behalf of DPTI. In 2014-15, five invoices were double paid to the total value of $2,118.04.

All duplicate payments have been pursued and the total amounts have been recovered.

The department, in collaboration with Shared Services, are continually reviewing internal controls to identify opportunities for improvements.
