Systemic investigations

Most of the complaints we receive are dealt with on a case-by-case basis. However, we may investigate broader issues and problems with the systems you have in place that have the potential to affect many consumers. We identify systemic issues through a range of sources; including complaint data, when our enquiry or investigations officers see a recurring problem, media alerts and information received from TIO members.

There are five key stages of a systemic investigation:

  1. Identification
  2. Assessment
  3. Investigation
  4. Resolution
  5. Reporting
We will work with you to try and fix the systemic issues we identify.
