Auditor-General's response to inquiry request
Auditor-General's response to inquiry request to look into NZDF and Miltech
In 2014, the Office received a request from Hon Dr Jonathan Coleman, then Minister of Defence, to look into a procurement arrangement involving the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) and Miltech Limited (Miltech), a commercial business servicing life jackets for NZDF.
We found that NZDF's interim arrangement for life jacket servicing with Miltech did not comply with NZDF rules about secondary employment. The arrangement also did not meet the standards expected in the public sector. However we found no evidence of illegal activity.
Our full findings and recommendations to NZDF are on our website.
