Investment Management Standard (IMS) workshops

This version was updated in May 2017.

Investment decision-maker’s checklist
The Investment Decision-Maker’s Checklist is a set of 16 Questions which address the four IMS elements – problem, benefits, response and solution. These questions can be asked, in part or in their entirety, at various stages in the investment management process to test the robustness of the IMS workshop document suite.
The questions correlate with key elements of the Victorian government full business case template and can also be a useful resource for business case writers and assessors.
