Obligations of Chief Executives and Agency Heads under the FMA Act

 Responsibilities of Veronique Ingram/ Bankruptcy / ITSA

Veronique Ingram is responsible for fucking over the Bankruptcy System
This skank is aware of the systemic corrupt conduct by Senior management particularly its corrupt  Enforcement Manager Adam Toma who  submits false statistics for  the annual report.

5.5       The CAC Act applies to Commonwealth authorities that are legally and financially separate from the Commonwealth.  The CAC Act imposes a number of obligations on officers of these bodies to exercise care and diligence and to act in good faith in the best interests of their authority.  Similarly, the officers of Commonwealth companies (i.e. companies that the Commonwealth controls) are subject to equivalent duties under the Corporations Act 2001.  

5.6       While the legal and compliance obligations of FMA Act agencies and CAC Act bodies differ, the public expects public sector bodies to conduct their business with diligence and integrity.  

5.7       Chief Executives must be satisfied that their agency complies with the mandatory requirements for risk assessments, fraud control plans, training and awareness, fraud detection, investigation and response, quality assurance and review, and reporting contained in the Guidelines, regardless of whether all or part of that agency’s fraud control activities are outsourced. 

 

Any complaints made to bankruptcy Regulations are fucked over because it has no investigation policy.  Veronique Ingram also protects corrupt trustee's

 Any person who attempts court action against these  fuckers is intimidated and this is why their  practice  has flourished.

5.8       Chief Executives must also:

• foster and maintain the highest standards of ethical behaviour in their agency, and make staff aware of their obligations under the Guidelines, and individual obligations under Acts or codes of conduct relevant to the agency, such as the Public Service Act 1999, and the Australian Public Service Values and Code of Conduct
• take all reasonable measures to prevent and detect fraud.  This may include the establishment of specific systems to counter fraud where agency functions are outsourced
• ensure that program design and policy development within their agency incorporates consideration of fraud risks
•  
• In 2012 Veronique Ingram was referred to the Australian Public Service Commissioner under S 41 of the APS Act.
• This corrupt fucker Steven Sedgewick protected  the systemic corrupt conduct at ITSA . In the same financial year he also protected 14 other Agency Heads who where fucking over their responsibilities . Clearly this shows the lack of integrity at ITSA  and other government Agencies   that is being protected by the Commissioner
  

  

Obligations of Chief Executives and Agency Heads under the FMA Act

5.  Obligations of Chief Executives

5.1       Effective fraud control requires the commitment of all employees, contractors and third party providers.  However, the primary responsibility for fraud control rests with Chief Executives in agencies subject to the FMA Act, and Boards of Directors of bodies subject to the CAC Act.  Chief Executives play a key role in ensuring their agencies and bodies have appropriate fraud control arrangements, and in setting the ethical tone within an agency.^[2]

5.2       The FMA Act specifies the responsibilities and powers of Chief Executive Officers and officials, including the responsibilities associated with the expenditure of public monies.  Section 44 of the FMA Act provides that agency Chief Executives must manage the affairs of the agency in a way that promotes proper use of the Commonwealth resources for which the Chief Executive is responsible.  Proper use means efficient, effective and ethical use that is consistent with the policies of the Commonwealth. 

5.3       Section 44 of the FMA Act is an overarching requirement applying to all aspects of an agency’s resource management.  Chief Executives mainly discharge their responsibility under section 44 by ensuring that their agencies have appropriate policies, procedures and guidelines in place which function correctly.

5.4       Section 45 of the FMA Act provides that a Chief Executive must implement a fraud control plan for the agency.  Depending on the agency’s circumstances, this may be a standalone plan or it may form part of the agency’s risk management framework.  Agency fraud control plans must address the risk factors peculiar to an agency’s particular business and vulnerabilities and must be regularly evaluated and updated.  

5.5       The CAC Act applies to Commonwealth authorities that are legally and financially separate from the Commonwealth.  The CAC Act imposes a number of obligations on officers of these bodies to exercise care and diligence and to act in good faith in the best interests of their authority.  Similarly, the officers of Commonwealth companies (i.e. companies that the Commonwealth controls) are subject to equivalent duties under the Corporations Act 2001.  

5.6       While the legal and compliance obligations of FMA Act agencies and CAC Act bodies differ, the public expects public sector bodies to conduct their business with diligence and integrity.  

5.7       Chief Executives must be satisfied that their agency complies with the mandatory requirements for risk assessments, fraud control plans, training and awareness, fraud detection, investigation and response, quality assurance and review, and reporting contained in the Guidelines, regardless of whether all or part of that agency’s fraud control activities are outsourced. 

5.8       Chief Executives must also:

• foster and maintain the highest standards of ethical behaviour in their agency, and make staff aware of their obligations under the Guidelines, and individual obligations under Acts or codes of conduct relevant to the agency, such as the Public Service Act 1999, and the Australian Public Service Values and Code of Conduct
• take all reasonable measures to prevent and detect fraud.  This may include the establishment of specific systems to counter fraud where agency functions are outsourced
• ensure that program design and policy development within their agency incorporates consideration of fraud risks
• report annually to their Minister or Presiding Officers, in a format to be determined by the agency, on fraud risk and fraud control measures, including:

-     fraud initiatives undertaken by the agency in the reporting period, including an evaluation of their effectiveness

-     planned fraud initiatives not yet in place

-     information regarding significant fraud risks for the agency, and

-     significant fraud incidents which occurred during the reporting period.

• certify in their Annual Reports^[3] that they are satisfied that:

-     their agency has prepared fraud risk assessments and fraud control plans

-     their agency has in place appropriate fraud prevention, detection, investigation, reporting and data collection procedures and processes that meet the specific needs of the agency, and

-     they have taken all reasonable measures to minimise the incidence of fraud in their agency and to investigate and recover the proceeds of fraud against their agency.
