In February 2015 an inquiry into an Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) matter was initiated by the Inspector-General pursuant to s 8(2) of the IGIS Act. The final report was provided to ASD in July 2015. The report included four (classified) recommendations, however it did not find any failure of ASD to comply with the law, nor did it reveal any systemic failures of governance or improper activity. As requested ASD responded to the report in October 2015.
ASD accepted the principles underlying the recommendations and the Inspector-General was satisfied that ASD has appropriate ongoing arrangements in place in relation to the subject of the inquiry and was responsive to the recommendations. Routine reporting arrangements between ASD and the office have been revised to ensure appropriate levels of ongoing oversight in relation to the subject of the inquiry.
A full account of the inquiry is contained in the classified report which has been provided to the Director of ASD and the Minister for Defence and copied to appropriate Australian Government recipients for information. Given the highly classified nature and details of the inquiry, no further information will be released publicly.
