A number of configuration problems were found, and recommendations were made to improve processes and technology in the medium term. The configuration problems were corrected. Process improvements are being incorporated in to policy and standards documents. Technology improvements are being scheduled for future ICT outsourcing contracts. March 2004 - Merit Partners Independent Audit of Stranded Costs on Termination of Services Agreement 99-5051 (2002) This audit seeks to determine all potential costs, leases and / or options to purchase associated with equipment and associated software owned or leased by the contractor and used primarily to perform the services under the agreement. Based on the findings the quantum of stranded costs appears to correctly reflect the written down value of relevant assets based on their original cost and useful lives of 5 years. Stranded costs put forward by CSM Technology on termination of the Messaging and Groupware contract were accepted as true and accurate.
