About
Department for Infrastructure and Transport awarded a contract to KPMG for independent financial auditing services for the Northern Water Project.
The project aimed to deliver a reliable, sustainable commercial water source for mining, defence, hydrogen, and pastoral industries in the Upper Spencer Gulf and further north by constructing a seawater desalination plant drawing from the Spencer Gulf and connecting it via a pipeline network of up to approximately 600 km linking the Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Whyalla, Port Augusta, Woomera, Carapateena, Roxby Downs, Pimba, and Olympic Dam, with the intent of reducing reliance on the Great Artesian Basin and the River Murray.
The engagement covered independent financial audits for the project.
Large infrastructure programs of this scale commonly appoint Big Four firms as independent financial auditors due to their capacity and established public-sector audit methodologies.
