Transport audits

The NZ Transport Agency has a legal obligation to audit organisations that are funded through the National Land Transport Programme. The audits typically take place on a cycle of two to four years. The current audit programme includes investment audits, post-implementation reviews and assurance reviews.

Audit programme

The audit programme details the approved organisations we intend to audit, the type of audit to be completed and the quarter of the year that we expect to complete our visit.

Investment audits

Investment audits review the approved organisation’s management of their land transport programme, including financial management, procurement, contract management and achievements. They also assess whether value for money objectives are being achieved. Technical investment audits also review the condition and performance of the road network assets, planning and intervention logic for investing in their assets.

Post-implementation reviews

Examine the effectiveness and value for money of completed projects. These reviews compare the expectations of a project with the outcomes, both in terms of benefits and costs.

Theme audits

Assurance reviews focus on specific aspects of the planning and investment process. This means that they are not limited to any particular approved organisation, or the NZ Transport Agency. They target specific parts of the process, regardless of responsibility, and are used to help identify and inform improvements.
