Welcome


Welcome to the April 2008 edition of the Tasmanian Risk Management Fund newsletter, riskmatters, published by the Department of Treasury and Finance.

The obligation on drivers and agencies to appropriately maintain government motor vehicles is highlighted on page 3, and advance notice is given of new reporting requirements for business travel cover on page 4.
