Business accountability and governance
Our governance framework supports performance across the ACC, while ensuring that key accountability requirements are met.
In order to ensure that the Australian Crime Commission uses its powers responsibly, effectively and in accordance with the law at all times, the ACC is properly subject to significant internal and external oversight. Links to key external oversight bodies and reports are provided below. Full details are available in the Annual Report.
- Executive Oversight:
- Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity
- Parliamentary Joint Committee on Law Enforcement
- Senate Estimates Committee
- Intergovernmental Committee for Australian Crime Commission
- Commonwealth Ombudsman
- Judicial Review – primarily through the Federal Court of Australia
- Australian National Audit Office
