1 A preliminary inquiry allows the Inspector-General to determine whether the issues raised fall within the jurisdiction of the Inspector General and whether a full inquiry should be conducted. A full inquiry allows the Inspector-General to use the complete range of statutory powers in the IGIS Act.
