Assignment 4 "Notwithstanding that there may be several agencies with border management responsibilities, the fundamental nature of the challenge that each confronts is the same. The challenge is to facilitate the legitimate movement of people and goods across increasingly blurred, or even virtual, borders while at the same time meeting the government’s mandate to maintain the integrity of the border, to protect the community, and to prevent the unlawful or unauthorized movement of people and goods". David Widdowson and Steve Holloway, ‘Core Border Management Disciplines: Risk Based Compliance Management’ in G. McLinden et al, Border Management Modernization (2011, The World Bank, Washington DC) Task Identify the principles of effective border management utilised by Governments whereby several agencies are required to maintain the integrity of the border, to raise revenue whilst protecting the community, and to prevent the unlawful or unauthorized movement of people and goods.
