Australian Border Force’s collection of international trade statistics

The audit would assess the effectiveness of the Australian Border Force’s (ABF’s) processes for ensuring the accuracy of the Integrated Cargo System data supplied to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

Australia’s international merchandise trade statistics are a key input into Australia’s balance of payments and national accounts. The source data is supplied each night to the ABS by the ABF, an operationally independent agency in the Home Affairs portfolio, from data input into the Integrated Cargo System by importers and exporters. Responsibility for monitoring and improving the accuracy of data input into the Integrated Cargo System rests with the customs compliance area of the ABF.

Border Intelligence Fusion Centre

This audit would examine effectiveness of the Department of Home Affairs’ operation of the Border Intelligence Fusion Centre to support border operations.

In 2016, the Border Intelligence Fusion Centre was established within the department to better identify potential threats across the border continuum. The centre brings together intelligence gathering and targeting functions that support border operations, including those functions that were previously delivered by the National Border Targeting Centre.

Through the operation of the centre, the department aims to enhance risk assessments of international passengers and cargo by improving access to analysis, coordination and sharing of border-related data; and collaborate with similar targeting centres in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

Collection of visa revenue

This audit would examine whether the Australian Government and its contracted service delivery partners are effectively collecting visa revenue.

Australia’s migration programs allow people from any country to apply for a visa to migrate to Australia or to enter the country on a temporary basis, provided that they meet criteria set out in law. There are a number of different ways to apply for a visa, including online (for certain categories) and via four service delivery partners, which are contracted by the department to operate Australian Visa Application Centres in 46 countries. The services provided by service delivery partners include pre– and post–visa lodgement inquiries, distribution of visa information to clients, collection of visa applications and biometrics, and banking of visa application charges.
