Details

The Assurance of Action Plan (AAP) review re-assesses a project or programme in the light of actions taken, following a Government Major Project Portfolio (GMPP) assurance review, where the Stage Gate Assessment was assessed as Red.

The AAP process is led by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) and carried out in partnership with the parent department for the benefit of the Accounting Officer. The purpose of the AAP is to assess whether actions taken and/ or plans developed since the previous review have significantly improved the likelihood of successful delivery. The AAP provides the Accounting Officer (AO) and the SRO with the assurance that their programme or project is adequately addressing the issues that it needs to. It will be used to support decision making by HMT at key approval points.
