The Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit (JCPAA) will hold a public hearing this afternoon for its inquiry into a series of procurements conducted by Services Australia and the NDIA which were connected with consulting firm Synergy 360.
The hearing will feature Infosys technologies, a firm mentioned in the media reporting that led to the Independent Review of Services Australia and NDIA Procurement and Contracting (the Watt Review).
Committee Chair, Mr Julian Hill MP, said that the Committee is examining the expenditure of public funds at the NDIA and Services Australia, as well as the conduct of parties associated with procurements by those agencies.
“The Committee considers that the serious problems with these procurements identified by the Watt Review warrant thorough investigation and will leave no stone unturned.”

Time: 3.15pm – 5.00pm AEST
