TQCSI-Yaran Government Gateway Reviews

Gateway Reviews are designed to strengthen governance and assurance practices, and improve efficient delivery and successful outcomes for publicly funded major projects and programs. 

If you are implementing a high-risk proposal that is subject to the Gateway Review Process, a series of short, intensive reviews will be conducted at critical points across a major projects implementation lifecycle (normally over several years).

Gateway Reviews are a series of independently led assurance reviews, testing specific areas of projects, such as: scope, schedule, cost, risk, governance and other key areas to answer the question, “will it do what it says on the can?”

Importantly, Gateway Reviews are NOT an audit – they identify issues affecting delivery and make recommendations to improve outcomes – the objective is to help the project succeed.
