You need to know that the Director of the Serious Fraud Office is independent. When deciding to investigate a case of serious or complex fraud, the Director acts on their own. They do not have to answer to the Attorney-General in these matters, as stated in section 29. You should understand that the Attorney-General still has power over some proceedings. The Director's independence does not limit the Attorney-General's power. This means the Attorney-General can still make decisions about certain cases. The Director's independence is important for investigating serious or complex fraud. It helps ensure that cases are handled fairly and without interference. The law is in place to protect the independence of the Director in these matters.
