Recommendations

Info

The Ombudsman is scheduled to conduct a further own motion investigation within six months of the initial investigation to monitor the ACC’s progress in implementing the recommendations. The ACC is continuing to work closely with all relevant parties to ensure full compliance with the recommendations. Audit The financial statements prepared for transition, and audited by the <strong>Australian</strong> National Audit Office (ANAO), were unqualified. The ANAO undertook an audit to review and assess the ACC’s financial control environment and the major systems of internal controls governing the accuracy, completeness and reliability of the accounts and records. The audit results indicated that the ACC’s control structure provides sound assurance on the accuracy and reliability of the accounts and records that support the financial statement preparation at year-end. Judicial Review of ACC Decisions A person may seek a review of a decision by the ACC or an Examiner, pursuant to the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977, section 57 of the ACC Act, and section 39B of the Judiciary Act 1903. The outcomes of reviews of ACC decisions are reported in Appendix F. Complaints and Freedom of Information Complaints about the activities of the ACC generally, and/or specific member/s of ACC staff, may be made to the ACC or to the Commonwealth Ombudsman. The ACC received thirteen complaints during the reporting period. Four complaints were resolved and the remainder are under investigation. Four complaints were outstanding from 2002–03. Two of the complaints were not substantiated and the other two are still under investigation. These are reported in Appendix F. Complaints made concerning the alleged actions of seconded police officers are usually referred to the officer’s home jurisdiction for investigation. During 2003–04 the ACC received nine requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act 1982. No requests for internal review were received and no appeals were lodged with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). 18 I ACC ANNUAL REPORT 2003–04
Governance - Internal scrutiny In addition to its external governance mechanisms, the ACC internal governance framework provides the structure for strategic planning and effi cient decision-making, with stringent internal governance controls and processes to ensure accountability and transparency in its activities. In addition to the CEO and Senior Executive Team these controls include the ACC Governance Operations Committee, internal audits and a dynamic corporate structure that integrates all levels of the organisation. Figure 1.2: ACC’s internal security and governance Chief Executive Offi cer The ACC’s CEO is responsible for the management and administration of the ACC, and acts in accordance with the policies determined by the ACC Board. The CEO must also manage, coordinate and control ACC intelligence operations and investigations, and allocate Examiners to operations and investigations as necessary.

Mr Milroy’s 35-year career includes roles in the New South Wales Police Service, the Royal <strong>Commission</strong> into the New South Wales Building Industry, the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal, and the private sector.
