IP Australia’s fraud control framework is made up of the Accountable Authority Instruction, the Fraud Control Plan, and the Fraud Risk Register and Treatment Plan. IP Australia continues to maintain appropriate fraud prevention, detection, investigation, reporting and data collection procedures.

The current Fraud Risk Register and Treatment Plan is linked to IP Australia’s risk management framework and consolidates key fraud prevention and detection controls in one document.

We review the framework periodically to consider changes in the operating environment, and in accordance with the Commonwealth Risk Management Framework. The Audit Committee reviews the Fraud Risk Register and progress of treatments.
