The Corruption and Crime Commission reviewed the Department of Finance's handling of three allegations involving procurement and conflicts of interest.
The Commission concluded that Finance's response to all three matters was inadequate.
The Commission found that Finance focused on individual conduct without adequately examining wider weaknesses that could allow misconduct to recur.
The Commission acknowledged Finance's subsequent changes and urged government authorities to review their governance and ability to respond promptly to misconduct risks.
In the body's own words
- Conclusion
The Commission's review considers the action taken by Finance into all three matters was inadequate.
- Opinion
In the Commission's view, the actions taken should look beyond the conduct of the individuals to identify vulnerabilities that may be exposed or exploited again in the future.
Findings and recommendations
Allegations are not findings. A commission's finding or opinion of corrupt conduct or misconduct is not a finding that a person is guilty of a criminal offence, and the commissions say so in their reports.
No findings or recommendations are reproduced in this record. This does not establish that the report contains none.
Published responses
No published response was found.

Notes on this record
- Report type assigned by OPAX from the title; the Commission tags every listing item Report.
- Date is the date the Commission's report page was published; the report states no date OPAX read.
Coverage
This publisher
- The Commission's website has no copyright or licence page; reports carry the Commission's copyright notice (fair dealing only), so OPAX keeps short verbatim extracts with citations and links the original PDFs.
- Only the reports listing (/publications/reports) is covered. Annual reports, quarterly reports filed under /quarterly-reports, media releases and news items are not report records.
- The listing date is the date the Commission's page was created; the record date is the report's cover date or the tabling date stated on the page where one is given, and the listing date only as a fallback.
- Opinions are extracted only where the Commission states them in a sentence on a single page; opinions in older reports framed differently, or split over a page break, are not extracted (findings not_extracted).
- No text layer, no OCR: scanned reports have no extracted opinions or recommendations.
