Dear applicant
Freedom of Information Request No. FOI 181 - 2024
Acknowledgement of request
I refer to your request dated
14 August 2024 under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (
FOI
Act) in which you seek access to documents in the possession of the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission (
ASIC).
Your request seeks the following:
“I request a fully unredacted copy of the ‘written confirmation from the Department of
Finance, that ASIC was covered by [CDDA] and could receive [CDDA] claims’ referred to at
[5.130] of the recent SERC report. I asked Finance and Treasury and they both returned nil
docs. PTAG might’ve noted the wrong department. This document was not in scope of the
previous request regarding SERC 5.130.”
As your request was received on
17 August 2024 and the 30-day statutory period for
processing the request commenced on the day after the date of receipt, you should
therefore expect a decision to be made by
16 September 2024.
The 30-day processing period may be extended should ASIC find it is necessary to consult
third parties, where a charge is to be imposed on the processing of the request or for other
reasons. You will be advised if there are changes to the 30-day processing period.
Please note that any documents released to you under the FOI Act may later be
published online on the ASIC disclosure log in accordance with our obligation to do so under
the Act. This requirement to publish released documents is subject to certain exceptions for
example, personal or business information will not be published where it would be
unreasonable.
Should you have any questions about your Freedom of Information request, you may
contact me by email at
xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx.xx.
Yours sincerely
