2. AMAF Attestation
Attestation is the act of making a declaration that something exists or showing or providing evidence sufficient to show that something is true
Demonstrates organisational engagement & oversight for asset management strategies, processes and outcomes
AMAF attestation is to increase transparency and confidence that government requirements are being met
Attestation will be dynamic over time as asset management is not static and needs to continuously improve

3. AMAF Attestation – possible compliance outcomes
AMAF compliance assessment may confirm:
all mandatory requirements met & supporting evidence is available
most mandatory requirements met with evidence available; material non-compliances exist (and quantified); planned actions & timing to fully comply require to be identified, documented and resourced
some mandatory requirements met and some evidence exists; non- compliances exist (and are identified); intended actions & timing to comply to be identified & documented in a formal compliance plan
none or few mandatory requirements met; a comprehensive compliance plan needs to be developed, documented, resourced as a key and priority component of AMAF implementation

4. AMAF Attestation – compliance assessment
The Department of Health and Human Services portfolio comprises over 100 reporting entities; represents over 40 per cent of public sector organisations to attest to AMAF compliance
All health services are required to attest to their AMAF compliance
An AMAF compliance assessment tool is under development to assist DHHS portfolio agencies

5. AMAF compliance assessment tool
The tool is designed to assist portfolio agencies to:
routinely and consistently assess AMAF implementation status
objectively identify level of compliance against each mandatory requirement
to periodically assess compliance by requirement, area and overall
The tool is automated to:
recognise your organisation’s level of complexity
calculate levels of compliance from questionnaire responses
identify & list evidence required based on questionnaire responses
generates an AMAF compliance assessment summary
offer an auditable assessment compliance snapshot process
