Commonwealth Fraud Control Guidelines - 2011
Summary
The purpose of the Guidelines is to establish the policy framework and articulate the Government’s expectations for effective fraud control for all agencies and their employees. The Guidelines place obligations on agencies and their CEOs in relation to fraud risk assessments, fraud control plans, awareness and training, handling of fraud cases and reporting.
The Guidelines are part of the wider Australian Government’s financial management framework, which create an overarching requirement to manage an agency’s affairs efficiently, effectively and ethically. The Guidelines aim to reduce the incidence of fraud and reduce the opportunity for fraud against the Commonwealth to occur.
The Guidelines are issued by the Minister for Home Affairs under Regulation 16A of the Financial Management and Accountability Regulations 1997.
