FOI request

“My inquiry is in relation to compliance with the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Rule 2014.

I'm seeking from Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, for each calendar year from 2016 to 2019 inclusively, the first page that contains the completion date of the first finalised:

a) fraud-risk assessment for purposes of s10(a) of the Rule, and
b) fraud/compliance audit implemented for purposes of s10(b/d) of the Rule.

For clarity, this entails only 1 page per calendar year for each activity (a) & (b).

Please feel free to redact everything but the completion date, activity type (assessment/audit) and entity name on each page, and if you implement these measures divisionally, then please be sure to release the pages requested above for each division respectively.

Alternatively, if convenient, a simple tabular report would suffice as follows:

Year, Entity/Division, Activity, Completion
2016, Entity/Division A, Risk-assessment, 1/2/2016
2016, Entity/Division A, Fraud/compliance audit, 1/5/2016
2017, Entity/Division A, Fraud/compliance audit, 1/8/2017
2018, Entity/Division A, Risk-assessment, 1/2/2018
2018, Entity/Division A, Fraud/compliance audit, 1/9/2018
...

If possible, kindly attach these pages (or the report) with an FOI statement of reasons (if applicable) as a single PDF file..”
