Parliament House
CANBERRA ACT 2600

Dear Minister

I have pleasure in presenting to you this annual report on the operations of the Migration Review Tribunal and the Refugee Review Tribunal (the tribunals) for the year ending 30 June 2014.

The report has been prepared in accordance with the Requirements for annual reports for departments, executive agencies and FMA Act bodies, as approved by the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit under sections 63(2) and 70(2) of the Public Service Act 1999 and published by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet on 29 May 2014.

The report includes the tribunals’ audited financial statements as required by section 57 of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997.

As required by the Commonwealth Fraud Control Guidelines I certify that I am satisfied that for the 2013–14 financial year the tribunals had appropriate fraud control mechanisms that met the tribunals’ needs and took all reasonable measures to minimise, investigate and recover incidences of fraud.

Yours sincerely

Signature of Kay Ransome
