NPA Act Section 7(a)

Mr Adams' mandate from IDAC is to investigate serious, high-profile, or complex corruption and related offences as set out in section 7(a) of the NPA Act, but some documents attached to the Minister's letter do not trigger IDAC's mandate.

“You set out your section 7(a) of the NPA Act. You do so at paragraph 8, page 3 of your first statement and you quote the Act that your mandate is to investigate serious, high-profile or complex corruption, commercial and financial cases. ... If this was the document that was attached, it does not trigger.”
