Dear Small Agencies,
Each year the ATO runs Security, Integrity and Fraud Awareness (SIFA) week for our staff. The theme for ATO SIFA week this year is Insider Threat. The ATO would like to extend an invitation to 20 small federal government agencies for 10 staff per agency to attend each webinar of interest during SIFA week. Each free webinar is 30 – 60 minutes and will be run through the Cahoot platform.
If your small agency is interested in sending 10 staff to these below events (does not need to be the same 10 for all events) please email Fraud_Prevention_Planning@ato.gov.au to express your Agencies interest. The ATO will then send you a spreadsheet to complete nominated staff details in. Closer to the date, the individual participants will be sent an event link for the specific sessions.
Please reach out to the ATO by Friday 25th October if your Agency is interested. Opportunities are open to federal government agencies the first 20 Agencies to respond will be the ones to benefit from these fantastic learning opportunities.
