Hi,

Sorry, I may have missed some debate on this but I have been asked to incorporate an NFI statement into our fair processing notices.  What's the current situation with regard to our audit commission colleagues extracting information from us?  I do recall some passing traffic which was giving them angst.

The statement is in their code of data matching practice 2006 and reads. 

Specimen fair processing notes
Good practice example of notice to be included in
application forms
(see paragraphs 2.6.1 and 2.6.7 of the Code)
‘This authority is under a duty to protect the public funds it administers, and to this end
may use the information you have provided on this form for the prevention and detection
of fraud. It may also share this information with other bodies responsible for auditing or
administering public funds for these purposes.’

My take is that we stick with the likes of "this information will not be released further [ than that stated in the rest of the FPN] unless we are obliged to do so by law or court order…."

Views much appreciated and apologies if this is old ground (I suspect it is).
