Fraud control
Consistent with the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Rule 2014 (section 10), the NBA conducts fraud risk assessments regularly and when there is a substantial change in the structure, functions or activities of the organisation.
The NBA updated its fraud risk assessment in 2015-16.
Fraud awareness training was conducted with NBA staff during 2015-16.
Under the current fraud control plan, the NBA continually monitors accountability and control frameworks to meet the specific needs of the agency, and ensures that it complies with the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Rule 2014.
No instances of fraud were detected during the reporting year.
Certification of fraud control arrangements
I, Michael Stone, certify that I am satisfied that for 2015-16, the National Blood Authority has:
- prepared fraud risk assessments and a fraud control plan;
- has in place appropriate fraud prevention, detection, investigation and reporting mechanisms that meet the specific needs of the NBA; and
- taken all reasonable measures to appropriately deal with fraud relating to the NBA.
