In September 2017, the Inspector-General completed a third inquiry into the analytic independence and integrity of the Defence Intelligence Organisation (DIO). This was a routine Inquiry, not prompted by any particular concern. The Inquiry did not find any evidence of interference with the independence of DIO assessments; generally the analytical integrity of the DIO process for producing reports is sound, although some areas for continuing improvement were highlighted. The Inquiry made two recommendations relating to analytic tradecraft policy and record keeping and several suggestions for improvement, which DIO accepted.
In November 2018, DIO released an updated end-noting and sourcing policy, which completed recommendation one of the Inquiry. In December 2018 DIO advised that an identified technical change had been implemented, satisfying recommendation two of the Inquiry. The next analytic independence and integrity inquiry is scheduled to be conducted in 2020.
