Ongoing multimillion-dollar deficits are dogging the Department of Internal Affairs’ Common Capabilities ICT procurement programme.

In June, the Auditor-General reported the programme was at “significant fiscal risk” with estimates its memorandum account could book a closing deficit of $24.2 million in the year to the end of June 2023, up from $19.8 million in 2022. 

The cost of running the programme was forecast to break-even from the 2021 financial year, but that had not occurred. 

DIA developed and administers a number of common capabilities ICT services that can be used by any central or local government agency. Examples include the common web platform, enterprise content management as a service and desktop as a service.

The deficits are not new, having persisted at least since the common capabilities were brought together under one account in July 2015.
