As reported in the 2017-18 Annual Report, in July 2017 the Inspector-General completed an inquiry into an Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) matter pursuant to section 8(2) of the IGIS Act. The Inquiry Report included five classified recommendations designed to ensure that the situation would not arise in the future and to streamline ASD’s communications with Ministers and with the IGIS.
ASD accepted all five recommendations, and provided reports to the Inspector-General regarding implementation progress in December 2017 and June 2018, by which point it had fully implemented three of the recommendations. In August 2018 ASD confirmed that it had finalised the remaining two. This office reviewed ASD’s advice and considers that ASD has sufficiently implemented all Inquiry recommendations.
