Dear Assistant Minister Morton

I have pleasure in presenting the Annual Report of the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) for the
year ending 30 June 2021.

The report has been prepared for the purposes of:
(i) section 46 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013; and
(ii) section 17 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918.

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

Tom Rogers
