The Dunedin City Council is refusing to reveal the details of failings that allowed the $1.5million Citifleet fraud to continue undetected for more than a decade. An Official Information Act request by the Otago Daily Times asked the council to release information on the gaps in its internal processes identified by Deloitte. The council has since worked to introduce a host of new internal controls and processes designed to protect against any repeat of the fraud. That was because Deloitte’s report contained information that could compromise the council’s internal controls, she said. ‘‘It is not in the public interest to disclose that information as it may lead to control measures being avoided.
