The ANAO could examine the Australian Taxation Office’s (ATO) governance of data and analytics. The ATO has established a new enterprise risk relating to misuse of data and analytics. In Auditor-General Report No. 26 2024-25 Governance of Artificial Intelligence at the Australian Taxation Office, the ATO expressed:

“There is a risk that the ATO (or those the ATO shares data or analysis with) does not lawfully or appropriately use its data and analysis, caused by a failure in its or its partners’ data and analytics governance, resulting in adverse impacts on individuals, loss of revenue and/or loss of public trust and confidence and reduction in willing participation.”
