Public Accounts Committee (2008 - 2013)· 17 September 2009inquiry_report

The WA Public Accounts Committee investigated allegations of mismanagement and political bias in the distribution of grant funds from the Confiscation Proceeds Account. The report examines whether the Confiscation Proceeds Account Committee (CPAC) allocated funds in compliance with the Criminal Property Confiscation Act 2000 and in an impartial, politically neutral manner. The Committee found no evidence of political influence by the CPAC.

Impact

The report addresses concerns about the integrity of grant allocation processes and aims to restore confidence in the use of confiscated criminal proceeds for community benefit. It also affects the reputations of public servants involved.
