As required by section 10 and paragraph 17AG(2)(b) of the Public Governance, Performance and
Accountability Rule 2014, I also certify that the AEC:
- has prepared fraud risk assessments and a fraud control plan;
- has in place appropriate mechanisms for preventing, detecting incidents of, investigating or otherwise dealing with, and recording or reporting fraud; and
- has taken all reasonable measures to deal appropriately with fraud relating to the AEC.
Yours sincerely
