Strengthening ADF Higher Command and Control through Scrutiny, Forecasting and Audit

摘要

also meeting the challenges of performance and accountability, requires the development of deep insight into the organisation. This article has argued that adapting best practice principles from the corporate sector can provide important assistance to CJOPS in exercising an oversight role-and so better minimise and manage risk. By establishing a scrutiny, forecasting and audit role explicitly removed from the daily line management function, a more independent review process can be established, providing a global view of organisational health and performance. Analysis already undertaken for HQJOC indicates that such a function is indeed viable.5 As a low cost approach with potentially significant returns, the introduction of a scrutiny, forecasting and audit function provides a low risk option for the ADF to introduce a feature of good corporate practice within headquarters management.
