Review: ATO internal fraud control management
Reviews and reports
Our review into the Australian Taxation Office’s (ATO) fraud control management was commenced at the request of the Senate Economics
References Committee. It followed events connected to Operation Elbrus including allegations of tax fraud that may be linked to abuse of position by a public official.
The review has not found evidence of systemic internal fraud or corruption. Generally, the ATO has sound systems in place for managing risks of internal fraud, however, the review has uncovered a number of areas which require improvement.
We made 13 recommendations to the ATO, all of which were agreed either in full or in part.
