Since there is no compliance with the relevant Act it clearly appears that the agency has no investigation policy or if it exists there is massive breaches.................. what are the ramifications for this... if ITSA, the Commonwealth Ombudsman and the Australian Public Service are failing to comply with this requirement under law......... what the Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it can only be assumed that this is occurring in all the Government Agencies..................

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
