- Decision(s) FOI 33: Not upheld
The complainant requested from the Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA) three audit reports regarding an audit of the Committee on Climate Change. The GIAA responded to the request refusing to disclose the requested information under section 33 of FOIA, the audit functions exemption. The Commissioner’s decision is that the GIAA has correctly applied section 33 of FOIA to the request and the public interest in favour of disclosure is outweighed by the public interest in maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
