- Decision(s) FOI 31(1)(g): Not upheld, FOI 31(2)(b): Not upheld
The complainant has requested the University of Salford (the university) to disclose an independent audit report into potential breaches of financial rules and regulations by AquaUoS. The university refused to disclose the requested information citing section 30 of FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigation it withdrew the application of section 30 and applied section 31(1)(g) by virtue of subsection 2(b) and (c). The Commissioner’s decision is that the university is entitled to rely on section 31(1)(g) by virtue of subsection 2(b) of FOIA. He therefore does not require any further action to be taken.
