The ARMC met five times during 2023-24.

Strategies implemented to control and prevent fraud

AGD is committed to the prevention, detection and reporting of fraud and corruption in connection with its activities. Any instance of fraud is to be reported to the Chief Executive and recorded on the AGD Fraud and Corruption Register.

The internal audit function performs reviews over the AGD system and control environments. In addition, AGD has a Fraud and Corruption Policy which addresses the prevention, detection and response to fraud, and a supporting procedure for reporting suspected fraud. As outlined in Treasurer’s Instruction 2, the documents are reviewed annually (last published in January 2024) and correspond with the South Australian Public Sector Fraud and Corruption Control Policy.
