Abstract
This dark side case covers a high-profile public sector criminal case of prolonged and serious fraud by a former senior manager, Joanne Harrison, at New Zealand’s Ministry of Transport that went unchecked for five years, despite attempts by employees to draw attention to it. An independent inquiry later confirmed allegations by four staff who raised concerns that they were subsequently disadvantaged in various ways in their employment at the Ministry. Martin Matthews, chief executive of the Ministry at the time of the offending, was subsequently appointed New Zealand’s Auditor-General, responsible for auditing all public entities in the country. An unreleased parliamentary report into his fitness to hold that office in light of his handling of the Ministry case led to his resignation.
