Summary
Generated summary: written by an AI model from the report text and checked against the cited pages.
The ACT Integrity Commission investigated consultancy contracts awarded by the Canberra Institute of Technology, with this report addressing disclosure to its board and responsible minister.
It examined whether the chief executive and board chair disclosed important information about the contracts.
The Commission found that the chief executive deliberately concealed information from the board and engaged in serious corrupt conduct.
It found that the board chair seriously failed to exercise care and diligence, but could not make a corruption finding because intentional or reckless conduct was not established.
Findings 1
