PTV reports to IBAC on recommendations to prevent corruption
Public Transport Victoria has reported on its program of procurement and cultural reforms, a year after the state’s anti-corruption commission exposed alleged serious corruption.
Finalised in June 2015, Operation Fitzroy investigated events at the former Department of Transport and Public Transport Victoria (PTV) between 2006 and 2013.
The investigation resulted in multiple recommendations, while nine people and one company were charged with a range of fraud-related offences.
PTV has reported on the activities it has determined to take in response to IBAC’s recommendations in improving:
- procurement and fraud prevention processes and systems
- staffing levels and training in key areas
- governance structure and risk auditing
- internal culture and staff awareness of corruption and fraud.
Note: Operation Fitzroy information and documents are unavailable while the matter is before the courts.
