Next week is National Consumer Fraud Week and this year’s focus is social media. In the lead up to tax time, it's important to be aware of what you share on social media.

regularly review staff access, cancel AUSkeys for anyone who shouldn’t have one and update passwords
talk to your staff and clients about the importance of keeping personal information secure (including user IDs, passwords, AUSkeys, TFNs)

check your online security practices by completing our online security self-assessment questionnaire.
