ACC Refers Concerns To Serious Fraud Office
The Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) today announced that it has referred matters of concern to the Serious Fraud Office (SFO).
“While investigating a staff member’s failure to follow internal policies and procedures other matters of concern were uncovered. Owing to the nature, potential scale and duration of those matters we believed it was appropriate to refer them to the SFO”, said Dr Jan White, ACC Chief Executive.
“We have passed information to the SFO and will now await their consideration of whether a formal investigation is warranted.”
The staff member in question has been dismissed for failing to follow policies and procedures.
The ACC Board has advised the Minister for ACC of this issue. The State Services Commission, Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, Department of Labour and Auditor General have also been informed.
"Given that this situation is being considered by the SFO ACC will not be making any further public comment at this stage”.
