A CurbyMcLintock Partner was engaged by the Public Service Commission to conduct an independent investigation into allegations made against the Director-General of a State Government Department. The allegations included suspected corruption, breaches of fiduciary duties, policy violations, inappropriate workplace behaviour, and nepotism in procurement and recruitment processes.
The investigation involved an extensive review of documentary evidence, including emails, procurement records, approval workflows, and internal correspondence. Interviews were conducted with the complainant, multiple witnesses, and several senior departmental executives to understand the circumstances surrounding the allegations and test the consistency of the evidence.
The findings were assembled into a detailed report that analysed the conduct in question, assessed the evidence against relevant legislative and policy frameworks, and provided recommendations. The final report was submitted to the Commission Chief Executive for consideration and further action.
