Attesting Across The Seams

Melbourne | 21 October | 12.15pm – 1.30pm

A Victorian critical infrastructure entity can be answering to four legislative planks at once: the Asset Management Accountability Framework, the Victorian Government Risk Management Framework, Part 7A of the Emergency Management Act and the Commonwealth’s SOCI Act. Each is structurally sound on its own. None is required to agree with the others. State and federal regimes are changing at different rates, they define asset, risk and security differently, and the same asset may be registered three times, for insurable value, state criticality and national significance, in books that never reconcile.

This session argues that the material risk in a multiply regulated entity does not live inside any one regime. It lives in the seams between them: incompatible definitions, uncoordinated reporting cycles, and security attestations built on asset management foundations that are thin or untested. A director can sign off an all-hazards security program with no tested competence in the systems being guaranteed, while the same gap in safety would breach WHS due diligence.

Drawing on the paper Attesting Across the Seams and recent Australian failures such as Callide C and TT-Line, the presentation sets out what asset managers can do now: build a single crosswalk from asset register to dependency map, give the Audit and Risk Committee an express duty to own the seams, and treat unreconciled registers and untested asset management maturity as key risk indicators rather than paperwork.
