ATO documents approve international travel for three senior executives—Deputy Commissioner Hector Thompson, Belinda Darling, and Rob Heferen—to France and Norway from 11-19 May 2024. The trip's stated purpose was attending the FTA (Free Trade Agreement or similar body) Bureau in Paris and meeting with the Norwegian Tax Authority in Oslo. Internal correspondence shows the business case was endorsed by Thompson on 26 April, with final approval granted by Chief Operating Officer Jacqui Curtis on 1 May 2024. The documents consist of inter-departmental emails forming an approval chain requiring sign-off at multiple levels before Commissioner consideration. No detailed cost estimates or meeting outcomes appear in the released excerpt, though a business case template with cost information was referenced as attached.
