Technology The nature and location of the ASCs operations mean that its supporting technology platforms must be adaptable and reliable. ASC activities require technology solutions that support normal government business functions but importantly must also support the highly disparate specialities of ASC business groups such as AIS biomechanics AIS physiology the AIS Medical Centre ASC commercial operations shops gymnasiums residential facilities catering and caf and AIS campus facilities management. ASC technology must also embrace the relationships and engagement of NSOs as well as other state institutes and academies of sport. 201516 will see a continuation of standardisation and simplification of the ASC technology platform. This work will focus on consolidating ASC and AIS high-priority information systems onto the enterprise solution platform and shifting the internally delivered technology platforms to externally managed services with a strong focus on cloud-based services. Risk management and oversight The ASC will continue to evolve its risk oversight and management systems deliver improved results for the government and the Australian sport sector. We recognise that the ASC needs to undertake activities with consideration and management of risks in order to both maximise opportunities and minimise adverse consequences. The ASC has identified a number of challenges against each of the four pillars of its 201519 Corporate Plan and will continue to monitor these as well as emerging strategic and organisational level risks at board and executive level. We will continue to use assurance mapping as a tool to identify and review the controls in place to address key risks considering the controls being implemented as part of normal business processes and management initiated reviews as well as the ASCs internal audit programme. In 201516 the ASC will further enhance the links between its business planning and reporting and risk management processes. This will ensure risk management is further embedded into business processes at all levels of the organisation. We will continue to take a systematic approach to risk management updating our framework and using the results from the 2015 Comcover Benchmarking Survey to deliver a more integrated and embedded approach.
