Fraud Control

The ALRC has a commitment to fraud control and for promoting efficient, effective and ethical use of Commonwealth resources. The ALRC reviewed and updated its Fraud Plan in August 2010 and is satisfied that the ALRC’s Fraud Control Plan 2010– 2012 complies with the Commonwealth Fraud Control Guidelines, and ensures that appropriate fraud prevention, detection, investigation and reporting procedures and processes are in place.

In accordance with s 8.14 of the Commonwealth Fraud Control Guidelines, the ALRC collects any information relating to fraudulent matters and reports it to the Attorney-General’s Department. No fraudulent activity was detected in 2010–11. The ALRC’s Fraud Control Plan is reviewed annually by the ALRC’s Audit Committee.
