Parliamentary report finds agency officials also failed to declare gifts and outings paid for by IT firm Salesforce

A parliamentary committee found the failure of NDIA staff involved in the contract to declare gifts and benefits given by Salesforce was ‘most egregious’.A parliamentary committee found the failure of NDIA staff involved in the contract to declare gifts and benefits given by Salesforce was ‘most egregious’.

The committee chair, Julian Hill, said the contracting process “fell short” of commonwealth rules and ethical requirements. The committee found the failure of agency staff involved in the contract to declare gifts and benefits given by Salesforce was “most egregious”. The NDIA’s policy says officials cannot accept gifts and benefits over $100, which could be “seen to compromise their integrity”. Accepting any gift worth over $100 must first be approved by the chief executive or chief financial officer and should be published on their website.

It also recommended the NDIA provide updates on its investigations into the contracting arrangements, the status of PACE’s rollout and its success or failure in cost savings and anti-fraud measures.
