The Chair answered that TINZ would investigate putting proven cases of corruption on the TINZ website. Do TINZ Directors undertake paid projects with connection to Cambodia? The Chair noted that all Directors and the Patron circulated a detailed register of interest prior to each Board meeting. Based on this, there is no evidence of any connection to Cambodia but the Chair agreed to look into it for the next board meeting.

7 2014 AGM Statement from the Chair The year ended June was amongst the most productive of any year of existence of the New Zealand Chapter of Transparency International (TINZ). It has demonstrated the amazing amount that can be achieved in our country because of the generosity of New Zealanders when it comes to contributing their intellectual capability and time to do things they believe will enhance the legitimacy of our public institutions, civil society organisations and private organisations. A key learning from the Chapter s research and analysis, further explored at a conference hosted by Griffith University in advance the C20 in Melbourne in June 2014, is that building strong integrity systems shows greater potential to address corruption than anti-corruption and enforcement agencies. TINZ ended the year, however, with a far deeper understanding about the work ahead to strengthen the integrity systems within our institutions and the need for systemic change so that our institutions, sectors and social, economic, political, environmental and Treaty foundations can link together in a way that bolsters our communities as well as our productivity and prosperity. TINZ s open approach to consultation with presentations across the country has reinforced the following: The core message of the NIS Assessment is that stronger action to promote and protect integrity in New Zealand, is overdue. Amongst the many achievements in 2013/14 was the research, review, write up and publication of the Integrity Plus 2013 New Zealand National Integrity System Assessment on anti-corruption day, 9 December This happened because of the hard work of the lead researcher, Liz Brown, my Co- Director Murray Petrie, writer David Smyth, Helen Sutch s leadership of the research advisory group, Patron Sir Anand Satyanand s chairmanship of the External Review Group working with Ross Tanner supported by Ann Webster with OAG s team and the over 30 NIS Researchers and Reviewers. At the end of the TINZ financial year, in June 2014, the online anti-corruption training programme was adapted and launched at functions in Auckland and Wellington. In addition, the New Zealand Chapter s initiative to partner with four Pacific Chapters to build and strengthen their institutional capacity was progressed. It is important to acknowledge that it is through the support of TINZ by individual, public sector, civil society and professional services members that the Chapter has been able to achieve what it does. Through the launching, researching, consulting, publishing, and addressing the implementation of the recommendations of the national integrity system assessment, the nature and structure of New Zealand integrity systems has become clearer. Yet the NIS assessment has led to as many questions as it answers there is still much work to do to define the specific the attributes that ensure New Zealand s integrity systems become an effective antidote to corruption. A particular challenge is for TINZ develop actions that engage New Zealanders, their government, their employers and businesses, to be proud to prioritise activities that both maintain and strengthen integrity systems and then to engage businesses to develop anti-corruption strategies that enable them to increase productivity and profitability. In this way, strong integrity systems will also make a contribution in support of greater economic prosperity for New Zealand. The State Service Corporation, led by Gordon Davis with the assistance of Christine Lloyd, has taken the lead on implementation of the NIS recommendations in the Public Sector. Several Parliamentarians have participated in discussion forums. 6

8 Open Consultation, Managing Conflict and Corruption Open Consultation: It has been challenging to engage a wider audience for discussion when only around 5% of New Zealanders have knowledge of Transparency International and of anti-corruption activities. One initiative has been to seek guest speaker roles and with an average of four speaking engagements a month, it has been possible to have an open dialogue with thousands of people over the year-ended 30 June Even so, these numbers are only a minuscule proportion of the population. At the same time, the TINZ Board s limited time has been distracted by a group of people who are deeply concerned about individual incidents of corruption and who believe that people are unable to gain redress for corruption practices through existing government institutions. Consistent with TI policy, TINZ focuses its limited resources on addressing ways to improve integrity systems, including government institutions, rather than focusing on individual cases. Managing Conflicts: A number of questions were asked at last year s AGM which follow a theme that reflects the way that corruption is viewed by some. One question was about whether any TINZ Director did business in Cambodia. Our board is proud of its longstanding practice where a detailed Register of Interest is updated by all Board members for every Board meeting. This is kept and updated for each monthly Board meeting, regardless of whether the interest registered relates to an item for Board discussion that may be a conflict. As well as tabling the register of interests, the identification of potential conflicts is requested by the Chair at the start of every formal TINZ Board meeting. Over the past year, it has been possible to explore the interest registers in greater detail and there is no Board member who has beneficial interests in Cambodia. This examination of TINZ approach to conflict management included inquisition as to whether any Director had project work in Cambodia and none was found. This has led to a process to define the circumstances when a Director should inform the Board of any potential conflicts through advice and projects being conducted as part of their day-to-day non-tinz paid employment. Cases of Corrupt Practices: Questions raised at last year's AGM expressed a desire for TINZ to take a more public position on individual cases of corruption particularly through our website. We closely monitored cases over the year and given our limited resources, New Zealand's relatively strong integrity systems and its independent press, there was little to add to the national conversation. The learnings over the past year about the effectiveness of strong integrity systems as preventing corruption has provided evidence to TINZ that its focus on systems, rather than individual cases, is justified. TINZ Goals TINZ is committed to ensuring that: New Zealanders have the knowledge to demonstrate ethical, transparent, and corruption free practices, where strong integrity systems operate as robust antidotes to corruption New Zealand fully implements international anti-corruption conventions, especially the OECD Convention on Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions and the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) New Zealand s public, community, ngo and private institutions have full access to nonpartisan information on matters relating to good governance and transparency, key elements of strong integrity systems There are sound programmes available for the anti-corruption and transparency work in the Pacific 7

9 New Rules Approved November 2013 for Transparency International (New Zealand) Inc. The new rules approved at last November s meeting provide clarity in a number of areas where members have a role including membership, the selection of the Patron and the functions of an ethics committee. Membership: An area of discussion by the TINZ Board has been how to encourage more members, how to do this in partnership with other organisations rather than cannibalizing their members, and what level of membership fee provides a barrier. Individual memberships are welcome as they help to address TINZ s resource constraints and sustainability. They also contribute to TINZ s first objective which is to engage a wider audience in the discussion of strong integrity systems. Members views about ways to of growing both the data base and the membership base are welcome. Currently there is a $20 membership available to students and those over 65. Note too that the Rules provide for a new Emeritus membership classification and nominations for this role are sought. Patron: The rules specify that the TINZ Patron is elected by the TINZ Board for a 3 year term, following consultation with members. Current Patron, Sir Anand Satyanand has set a strong example by carrying out his role as a working Patron his mana has made a huge difference to TINZ. Sir Anand has encouraged the Board to undertake a search for a new Patron to take over when his 3 year term ends at the end of February Members suggestions for a new Patron will be gratefully accepted. Ethics Committee: The Rules specify that the TINZ Board may elect an Integrity & Compliance Officer from within the existing board members. For the 2013/14 year, an Ethics Committee was selected from the Board. Thanks to Murray Sheard as the Chair and Daniel King and David McNeill for their contribution as members. Other policies that have also been put on the TINZ website ( include Governance Guidelines, a conflict management policy and an ethics policy. TINZ Directors The updated Rules, approved by members at last year s Special General Meeting (SGM) require that the number of Directors shall be no less than 5 and not more than 12 persons with terms of 3 years (compared with 2 years prior to that). The elected directors will choose their Chair, Deputy Chair and the Treasurer at the first Board meeting following the AGM. They will also consider whether to have an annual election for an Integrity and Compliance Officer or whether to appoint a semipermanent Ethics Committee. Two Directors who are not seeking re-election are Fiona Tregonning and Ian Tuke and I would like to acknowledge their strong contribution to TINZ. They are both strong examples of the combination of intellectual commitment, focused effort and time that volunteer members of the TINZ Board contribute in support of building strong integrity systems. As well as their leadership of individual TINZ projects, their firms, Bell Gully and Deloitte, have been especially generous in making available meeting rooms, conference call facilities, planning materials, catering, professional services, administration including processing RSVPs for events and/or as additions to the TINZ database. Fiona Tregonning has brought her sharp brain and acute eye to the review of any formal material written by or for TINZ, to the provision of material for the annual OECD Exporting Corruption Report, to the free online anti-corruption training and to shaping TINZ governance and ethics policies. Regardless of how busy her own professional work is, Fiona has provided TINZ with timely strategic advice to deepen and strengthen its capacity. 8

10 Ian Tuke s knowledge of laws, regulations and anti-corruption policy that applies to businesses and other organisations is based on expertise shaped by experience. His attention to the detail when adapting the online anticorruption training to actual New Zealand conditions has ensured that the training is relevant. Those who do the short training come away with knowledge to respond to new situations in a manner that maintains and strengthens business integrity. I also want to pay tribute to two other Directors who resigned during the year. Stephanie Hopkin s brief time with TINZ before going to Save the Children, belies the huge amount she achieved in shaping the administration and financial reporting structures to be up to the level expected of an organization like TINZ. PwC s Stephen Drain contributed his expertise in leadership and protective disclosure to the TINZ Board, as well as providing access to PwC s meeting room and conference call facilities. Election of Officers This AGM, the timing of Director terms means that there are ¾ of the positions up for election. Only a quarter of the Directors are not up for re-election; they have served one year of their three year terms: Suzanne Carter, David McNeill, Murray Sheard, Fuimaono Tuiasau will come up for election again in I d like to acknowledge the role Suzanne Carter has played leading TINZ Communications Policy and the contributions from David McNeill, Murray Sheard and Fuimaono Tuiasau representing TINZ in Auckland. The following directors have served two years of their two year terms (as per the previous Society rules) and are seeking re-election for three year terms: Bryce Edwards, Claire Johnstone and myself, Suzanne Snively. This is an opportunity to acknowledge Bryce contribution, who has analysed the role of the media, electoral commission and political parties. Claire has made a massive contribution as Deputy Chair and as the leader of the TINZ Pacific initiatives. Two Directors were co-opted onto the board during the year and are seeking formal election to the Board for the first time: Daniel King and Christine Stevenson. In their short time as Directors, Daniel and Christine have made major contributions in thought leadership around building stronger integrity systems in the private and public sectors. Finally, there are two directors seeking formal election to the Board for the first time: Janine McGruddy and Josephine Serrallach. Janine brings a huge public sector network and Josephine has demonstrated her commitment by joining my in Berlin for this year s Annual Members Meeting in October. If all those Directors nominated are elected, there will be one Directorship position remaining. Thanks to those who have funded TINZ and the National Integrity System Assessment Thanks to the membership base on page 14 it may be small in size, but it is the heart of TINZ and my Board and I salute you. Thanks for being there for our country. Let us know what we can help you do for our country. Thanks to the TINZ Board As well as thanking the volunteer Directors and Patron, I would like to thank the TINZ other Board member. There include the Financial Officer Alison Smith who kept TINZ financially viable, working for 9 years until February this year and Helen Bewley whose calm organisational skills have kept us on top of the financials since then. Thanks also to Web Administrator, Steve Snively, who seems to know more about things that happen in New Zealand from working offshore than we do here and also to Administrative Assistant, Lexi Mills. In the 2014/15 year, TINZ has also benefited from the wisdom of our interim volunteer Executive Officer, Marion Cowden, and the networking skills of Board secretary, Grace Liang. 9

11 Statements from Directors TINZ Director Election Statements Bryce Edwards My main goal in TINZ is to help make the organisation the one-stop-shop for anyone and everyone to go to who has an interest in integrity in governance and public life. The main way that TINZ can achieve this is through continued research and public outreach initiatives. These are the areas that I want to concentrate on if I am re-elected to the Board of Directors. I am a lecturer in Politics at the University of Otago, as well as an active political commentator. I hope to use my resources in these areas to contribute to those TINZ goals. Daniel King My main reason for wanting to become involved in Transparency International is because I feel passionate about business ethics, and feel that businesses must act responsibly not matter where in the world they operate. I have been working with business ethics in the corporate sector since 2004, when the UN Global Compact introduced the 10th principle against corruption. I was responsible for developing and implementing the Danisco Code of Conduct, an ethical set of guidelines, as well as training of 7300 global employees. I have also conducted face-to-face ethics training of sales and purchasing teams in Western Europe and the Asia- Pacific region (Singapore, China and Malaysia). I am familiar with the tools Transparency International has developed with the UN Global Compact such as the Reporting Guidance on the 10th principle against Corruption" and "Collective Action in the Fight against Corruption". Whilst In Denmark, where I was based for many years, I was the coordinator for the CSR Forum's Business Ethics Network and a member of the Whistle-blowing network group. Claire Johnstone I have been involved with Transparency International since its inception in New Zealand 15 years ago and was Deputy Chair for the last year. Having served as a member of the Board for much of that time, I have taken a particular interest in the Pacific and Melanesia where I have worked alongside Transparency International chapters in Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Solomon Islands and Fiji. In particular, I am interested in the relationship between those countries and New Zealand and the effect that corruption has on the people and their fragile economics. I believe that corruption in areas such as fishing, forestry and extractive industries should be of particular concern to New Zealand. My background includes senior management roles in both the public and private sector. I hold a Masters of Public Policy and was a Winston Churchill fellow. I have recently taken up a role as the General Manager Resources (Australasia) for a private sector company with offices in New Zealand and Australia. 10

12 Janine McGruddy I would consider it an honor to be considered for one of the Director positions on Transparency International New Zealand s board. I am passionate about transparency, good governance and talking truth to power. I enjoy challenging roles in strategic relationship management and/or strategic advice environments where I can apply my people management skills, political savvy, public sector project management experience, educational and academic skills combined with wide ranging work/life experience. I have recently established the Wellington Spring Network for public servants to collaborate, innovate and find solutions to common problems I live in Lower Hutt with my partner Karl, my two children have both left home and are in tertiary education, Ruby with Victoria and Liam at Otago. Still at home are Fur the cat and Lucy an elderly dog. I have a strong belief that you need to be passionate and proactive about your work to excel at it, and that you get back what you put into life; I continue to have high expectations of myself and intend to be considered an expert in my field. In August 2012 I was rated always exceeds expectations on my Personal Development Plan with my former employer. I was headhunted by my former CE at the TEC to be Project Manager for the International Summit on the Teaching Profession My goal is to work on improving the public service and I believe that Transparency International and Open Government are a big part of this picture because no matter how well we are doing we can do better. I am proud to be a public servant and I am passionate about the importance of the role public service plays in an effective democracy. Josephine Serrallach The main reason for wishing to become a member of the Board of Directors of Transparency International NZ is that my vision for a better society and my personal ethical code match the ideals and mission of TI. My commitment is to work towards a world free of corruption and I believe that I could contribute better by being part of the Governance of the organisation which has the same aspirations and ideals. My moto is also to be locally involved while globally connected. My view of New Zealand society is that, although it transpires good will and good intentions, it shows a great deal of complacency to issues relating to breaches of integrity. It is also concerning the increasing normalisation of certain unethical behaviours and conflicts of interests. Only a small percentage of people is aware of TINZ existence, in spite of great efforts and excellent work of its dedicated members and Directors. Although I am a relatively new member of TINZ and that I still need to learn a lot more about the processes and systems of the organisation, I believe that I have the experience in Management as well as in Governance to be able to contribute to the direction of the organisation if I had to honor of becoming a member of the Board. In 2005 I completed a course in Company Direction conducted by the Institute of Directors in New Zealand. 11

13 Suzanne Snively In my term as a Director, the Board has developed extensive networks across the public, private and community sectors as a way of engaging a larger proportion of the population in the objectives of TINZ. By demonstrating the value of maintaining New Zealand s high rating and strong reputation, the engaged population begins to appreciate the possibilities of a virtuous cycle where strong values lead to stronger public institutions and business returns which in turn generate greater stability and economic returns that provide resources for building the capacity of the enterprises that contribute to economic and social activity. As TINZ itself gains capacity, this demonstration will be supported by evidence-based research, analysis and evaluation that how it is that when our country s enterprises are diligent in the management of their integrity systems, they also address their corruption risks. TINZ s viability requires consistent growth in all levels of membership, from students and other individuals through to support from government agencies, professional services firms and businesses which set out a series of initiatives to underpin and strengthen TINZ s advocacy role. I am determined to work across these sectors to develop a sustainable resource base to that the Chapter can deliver as a demonstrator and monitor of strong integrity systems. My memberships include the Institute of Directors, where I have completed the Certificate in Company Direction, the Association of Economists and I am an inaugural member of Global Women. I hold a number of Directorships and am a committee member of a number of risk management committees, across the public, civil society and private sectors. Christine Stevenson New Zealand has a longstanding and internationally recognised reputation for its ease of doing business, it's corruption-free public service, and the strength and integrity of its institutions. These attributes help give New Zealand credibility and therefore the opportunity to participate in fora such as the United Nations Security Council, in spite of our small size and modest economy. As proud as our history is, I believe that as New Zealanders we must be vigilant and energetic to ensure that our country maintains its culture of openness and transparency. The Board of Transparency International NZ is made up of a group of volunteers, people from a wide range of backgrounds and ideologies. All of the directors however, share a common goal: that of a country where the government, politics, business and daily lives of its people are free from corruption. I think that this is very important work and it would be a privilege to be a member of the Board. My career has included work as an accountant in the private sector and for the last eighteen years I have been a senior public servant. I have experience in management and governance, together with an enthusiasm for the work of Transparency International NZ. 12
