Referrals that have been assigned for assessment but assessment has not yet been finalised
Dear National Anti-Corruption Commission,
Under the FOI Act 1982 (Cth), I request access to documents showing the number of corruption referrals:
a) that have passed triage; AND
b) that have been assigned to an assessments officer; AND
c) where the assessment process has not yet been finalised,
for each of:
i) July 2023;
ii) August 2023;
iii) September 2023.
If a document does not exist but is able to be generated in line with section 17 of the FOI Act 1982 (Cth), please provide access to the generated document.
If possible, I would like a document in which the data is organised by reference to each month in which the referrals were received.
To be clear, when I refer to the "assessment process has not yet been finalised", I mean that the referral is still being assessed as at the date of this request.
That means, for example, referrals that were assessed and have passed to investigation do not fall within the scope of part c above. By way of further example, a referral that was assessed and then, following assessment, was the subject of a decision to no longer investigate would also not fall within the scope of part c. In effect, the only referrals that fall within part c are referrals that have not been assessed within the 90 day time period referred to in the NACC's service standards, and are still subject to assessment some 15 - 18 months after having been received.
Yours faithfully,
Nir
