SFO Investigates DataSouth Finance Limited

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) today confirmed reports that it is investigating DataSouth Finance Limited (DFL), part of the DataSouth Group that provides IT business continuity services to the Christchurch area.

SFO Director, Adam Feeley, said that SFO received information that raised concerns as to the veracity of lease agreements purportedly entered into between DFL and clients. The lease agreements had been financed by South Canterbury Finance.

“The investigation is in its preliminary stages, and we will be working with the receivers and other parties to determine the existence and extent of any fraud.”
