Each of these leaks was investigated by staff in my Office. In the majority of cases, reports were not leaked by someone who had received an actual paper copy. Rather, we believe the information was leaked by a journalist who obtained verbal information from a particular source. I personally know of a few cases in which discussions were held with senior departmental officials. In another case, I had conveyed to the clerk my concern over some leaked audit information.
