An audit of the Australian Tax Office has found that 100 fraud investigators do not have the necessary qualifications.
That represents one-third of its fraud investigation team.
The National Audit Office also found the ATO has done little to deter fraud and serious tax evasion and needs to keep better records of its investigations.
It says while the tax office has been effective at combating small-scale tax evasion, it needs to step up its efforts to prevent more serious fraud.
The ATO was given powers to enforce laws making it illegal for criminals to profit from their crimes three years ago but it has not used them, the audit said.
