Federal Budget 2014 - 2015


Pre Budget Planning
The message of the Federal Budget in May is that of a need or repair, Quotations
of a Budget Emergency, Sharing in the Pain , Ending of Entitlement and debt
tax, have raised concerns to all Australian and businesses alike. The Quality
management tool and benchmarks have been used in the Henry Review and The
Commission of audit. Recommendations from these tools are the basis for the
setting on policy for years to come.

The austerity measures to be taken, highlights the forecast government
department reductions from 890 to 584, in the form of a reduction or
rationalisation by 65%.

2013 was one of the worst years that business had experienced as there was no
direction from the government, and business would not undertake capital
improvement works that impacted on the economy. Now we are hearing the term
sticker shock or frightening of the business and private Sectors before the budget
release, that looks to be a massive impact on all of Australian operations.

Quality Assurance and Management Systems

The ISO 26000 series of International Standards emphasise
the importance of audits as a management tool for monitoring
and verifying the effective implementation of an organisation's
quality and/or environmental policy.

Audits are also an essential part of conformity assessment
activities such as external certification/registration and of supply
chain evaluation and surveillance.
