 The Minister for Defence, Joel Fitzgibbon and The Parliamentary Secretary for Defence Procurement, Greg Combet, acknowledged the improvements Gumley had brought to the organisation.Later Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) reviews of specific projects and capabilities were qualified in their assessment of the effectiveness of DMO reforms.For instance ANAO report 24 of 2009-10 of March 2010 identified "a range of ongoing issues which detracted from the effective procurement of explosive ordnance for the Australian Defence Force", that "there remains considerable scope for improvement in the management of explosive ordnance", and that it was too early to confirm whether proposed reforms would provide enduring improvement to Defence and the DMO's management of the procurement and sustainment of explosive ordnance.
