Certificate IV in Government – Fraud Control PSP40604
The
Certificate IV in
Government - Fraud Control PSP40604
and the
Certificate IV in Government – Investigations PSP41504
are gazetted minimal educational/
qualification requirements
of the Federal Government under the Public
Service Training guidelines. The Federal directive requires
ALL persons who are involved in any part of the fraud
process in the public service, (even reading or monitoring
investigation/fraud reports), to hold this/these formal
qualifications. This includes:- internal fraud investigators,
fraud managers; section heads; field agents, external fraud
investigation officers contracted to government, workers
compensation / common law investigators and so on.
These two courses replace the single
previous course Certificate IV in Government - Fraud Control
(Investigations) PRS40499. (To view Federal Directive click
here >
Commonwealth Fraud Control Guidelines). Note
also Guideline 5., 5.3 – Outsourcing and Training requirements
5.16 of that document. See also National Code of Practice
for Investigators in Australia at
www.aipd.com.au
for further information regarding
investigation standards and practice in Australia.
Fraud Investigations and general investigations can no longer be
conducted by those without formal fraud and investigative
qualifications. Under OH&S law, state government departments and
authorities and local governments are compelled to adopt these
standards as there are no state based standards. There are also
agreements in most states under the Public Service Training and
Skills Recognition (See Qld Government Departments Certified
Agreement 2003)
adopting
the AQTF courses under the Public Service Training Package and
the other national packages.
