Subhead:The executive was found to have committed "misuse of public funds," "gross mismanagement," "a serious breach of a code of conduct," and to have "knowingly direct[ed] or counsel[led] a person to commit a wrongdoing."#
The federal Justice Department found that one of its executives committed serious wrongdoing, including the misuse of public funds and gross mismanagement, but the individual retired before any disciplinary action could be taken, according to a report first published by Blacklock’s Reporter.
In a disclosure under the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act, Attorney General Sean Fraser’s department said the executive had authorized work under a contract that was outside the scope of the agreement and approved invoiced services that were not adequately supported by contractual documentation.

"The executive was informed of the conclusion of the investigation establishing that wrongdoing had been committed, and was advised the matter would be addressed through a disciplinary process," the department wrote. "However, the executive retired from the public service before any administrative measures could be considered."
The department did not identify the executive, disclose how much public money was involved, say when the misconduct occurred or explain why the matter was not referred to police.
