Thank you for your below request made under the Official Information Act
 1982 (the Act).
As your request seeks information dating back to the year 2000 and beyond,
 related to ACC’s Accredited Employer Programme (also known as the ACC
 Partnership Programme), extracting it would involve searching numerous
 record systems, which would require substantial collation and research.
 Therefore, as your request stands, we would decline to provide the
 information requested under section 18(f) of the Act.
However, the information requested is more easily retrievable dating back
 to 2010. Please let me know by next Friday (6 March 2020) if you would
 agree to only receive information dating back to 2010.
Please note, once we have received your response, our 20 working-day
 response timeframe may begin again as per section 15 of the Act.
If you have any questions, you can contact me at this email address.
Ngâ mihi

    Dear Government Services,
Time period shortened; now it is from 2010, because info not easily available from before 2000 and search was therefore declined.
But still waiting.
