Control of incorrect payment and fraud: savings in administered items arising from compliance activities Mechanisms common across most payment types for detection and control of incorrect payment and fraud are described in the section on Right payments to the right people. In 2002–03, an interrogation of the Centrelink mainframe data indicated that 5 372 child care service operator reviews were completed. Child Care Benefit is paid on an ongoing advance/acquit basis. No debts or overpayments are raised as part of this ongoing process. Performance outcomes for debt recovery and prosecution activity are reported in the section on Right payments to the right people. Significant increases in the number of reviews reported over previous years’ results reflect a widening of the definition of what constitutes a review rather than an increase in underlying review activity.
