xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx Dear Mr Sweeney
Freedom of Information Request No. FOI 208-2020
Acknowledgement of Request
I refer to your request received by us on 25 October 2020 under the
Freedom
of Information Act 1982 (
FOI Act) in which you have sought information from
the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (
ASIC).
Your email seeks access to the following:
The ASIC Chairman, James Shipton, and Deputy Chairman, Daniel
Crennan, are required to make 6-monthly written disclosures of their
personal business interests, both direct and indirect, to the Responsible
Minister as required by Section 123 of the ASIC Act 2001 and related
ministerial instructions.
The documents I seek are copies of:
i.
the written disclosures of James Shipton to the
Responsible Minister for the period 1 February 2018 to the
present; and
ii.
the written disclosures of Daniel Crennan to the
Responsible Minister for the period 16 July 2018 to the
present.
As your request was received by ASIC on 25 October 2020 and the 30-day
statutory period for processing the request commenced on the day after the
date of receipt, you should therefore expect a decision to be made by 24
November 2020.
The 30-day processing period may be extended should ASIC find it is necessary
to consult third parties, where a charge is to be imposed on the processing of
the request or for other reasons. You wil be advised if there are changes to the
30-day processing period.
Please note that any documents released to you under the FOI Act may later
be published online on the ASIC disclosure log in accordance with our
2
obligation to do so under the Act. This requirement to publish released
documents is subject to certain exceptions for example, personal or business
information wil not be published where it would be unreasonable.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss your request, please email me at
xxxxxx.xxxxx@xxxx.xxx.xx .
Yours faithfully,
Justin Frank
