ICT Investment Framework

The ICT Investment Framework will improve the government’s return on investment in information and communications technology by enhancing the strategic planning, management and evaluation of ICT-enabled business change programs and projects.

The Framework also improves alignment between business and policy objectives and agency ICT investments. Global research supports the need for enhanced ICT investment frameworks and the Framework is in line with similar work being progressed by other OECD countries.

Why Must I?

Under the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 and the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997, a CEO is required to manage the affairs of the agency in a way that promotes proper use of Commonwealth resources.

The ICT Investment Framework and its application across the Australian Government is a major component of the 2006 e-Government strategy.
