Recommendation 6.
Develop a Compliance Framework

A report document. A green tick.

The Board should make a way to check if the rules are being followed, like a report that is done every year.

A person holding up a document that says, 'Collection Notice'.

The report could check rules are being followed about:

  • collection notices
  • security
  • how things are done.

A report document.

The report would be given to responsible officers at the ABS. They check to make sure the data asset and the computer system are being used in a safe way and follow the laws.

Response

The Australian Coat of Arms. A map of Australia and a handshake. A green tick.

We agree.

A rules book. A document that says, 1, with an arrow pointing to a document that says, 2, with an arrow pointing to a document that says, 3. A lock icon.

A Compliance Framework needs to be made for the data asset and computer system. The framework will say how we will check if people are following the rules and keeping information private and safe.

A calendar that says, 'October 2024'.

This should be done by October 2024.
