Aggregate statistics on reports of misconduct and outcome

Justin Warren made this Freedom of Information request to Australian Securities and Investments Commission

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

The request was successful.

Dear Australian Securities and Investments Commission,

I am writing to request, under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), access to documents containing aggregate statistics on the number of reports of misconduct received by the Commission, the section of the Corporations Act that applies to the alleged misconduct, and the status of these requests.

By outcome, I mean that either an investigation was not performed, or a categorization of the outcome similar to that in paragraph 4 of the latest report on enforcement outcomes (Report 444, August 2015):

E.g. a) commenced investigation, b) completed investigation, c) criminal charges laid, d) banned individual(s), e) enforceable undertaking accepted, f) directors disqualified, and/or whatever status categories the Commission has used in the documents requested.

An example of the categorisation of reports by section of the Corporations Act is found in Table 2 of the aforementioned Report 444 on page 12.

I further request documents containing these aggregate statistics grouped by month, quarter, or calendar year, whichever is the most detailed information available in documents held by the Commission.

I further request documents containing these aggregate statistics for the time period 01 Jan 2006 to 31 Dec 2015, or the largest consecutive time-span within this range for which the Commission holds documents matching this request.

I further request that any fees be waived due to the public interest in this information.

Yours faithfully,

Justin Warren

Fiona Crowe, Australian Securities and Investments Commission
