To whom it may concern,
Under Freedom of Information I am requesting a copy of the your agency's investigation policy. This is a requirement under the Financial Management and Accountability Act.
I will remind you what this contains:
S1.1 Investigation Policy

::A statement regarding the agency's objectives in carrying out its investigation functions and use of sanctions.

:: a clear definition of activities applicable to the Agency to which the AGIS apply. This should include a description of compliance activities that are not generally considered investigations by the agency.

::A statement regarding the agency's responsibility to manage matters that are considered minor or routine and

:: A statement regarding the agency responsibility to refer criminal matters to the Australian Federal Police. This should include considerations of joint agency investigation teams where appropriate.
Also under FOI I would like to be given in writing what level of Investigation training or qualification that Kent Pervis has received. Also I am requiring the same of Margaret Chinnery Diane Merryfull and Alison Larkins
I am also particularly interested if your investigations policy require all applicable Acts be complied with.
Thank you
Fiona Brown
