Case Intake Committee

Complaints to IDAC come in by affidavit under section 27 of the NPA Act and are reviewed by the Case Intake Committee to determine if they fall within IDAC's mandate, followed by investigation under section 28 if sufficient information exists.

“Section 27 deals with the reporting of matters to the Investigating Director...A complaint that is referred in terms of section 27 comes to the Head of Office, the Investigating Director, then to the Case Intake Committee who decide if it falls within mandate...If sufficient information on referral, a full-blown investigation can be conducted in terms of section 28”

There is no permanent Evaluation Committee on the organizational structure of IDAC; instead a Case Intake Committee is formed for cases.

“From what I know is that a Case Intake Committee is put together. It consists of the ID, the Investigative Director herself and her management. ... From her self and her management, she will put something like this. But I cannot say because I have no knowledge on that part ... it is not there”
