Themes of the discussion will include:
- Is the age of 're-regulation' really delivering accountability and transparency in government and business?
- What do increasing complaints to statutory complaints bodies and Officers of Parliament mean? Are these actions effective?
- Why are complaints to government becoming more complex and who is making them?

TI-NZ applauds Anthony Hubbard’s call for New Zealand to ratify the United Nations Convention against Corruption and shares his concern about complacency.
Writing in the Sunday Star Times (edition 25 March 2012, page A16). Hubbard identifies the worrying political and public complacency about corruption in New Zealand. As Hubbard says, New Zealand’s failure to ratify the UN Convention (despite signing it back in 2003) is an embarrassment for a country that prides itself on its ‘clean’ international image. More than that, however, it is bad for NZ business.

The Office of the Auditor-General just released the results of a survey on fraud awareness, prevention, and detection in New Zealand’s public sector.
In early 2011 approximately 2000 surveys were sent out and over 1500 returned, a very satisfactory response rate. While the survey confirmed a low level of fraud within the public sector, it also highlighted a lack of awareness in many key areas. Particular risks included misplaced trust in employees working on their own when responsible for major transactions, poor procurement policies, inconsistent fraud awareness training, and the need for improved whistle-blowing processes. The OAG website contains details about this survey.
TI-NZ Director Suzanne Snively participated in two panel discussions highlighting Transparency International's key role in championing good governance and a corruption free New Zealand. Review her presentation: OAG Fraud Survey - NZ Opportunity for Global Trust. |
