Controlled operations are undercover law enforcement operations where the participants have prior authority to technically break the law in order to investigate and deter crime and corrupt conduct.

The agencies authorised to conduct controlled operations are required to notify the Ombudsman of these operations. The Ombudsman must also inspect their records to see if they are complying with the requirements of the Act. This report details the results of those inspections for the period 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.
