(a) Ms Kath Finlayson has been Chairperson of the GEDC Board since 1997. In that position, she represents the GEDC Board on numerous organizations and committees. This involvement placed a considerable demand on GEDC staff time in arranging the Chairperson’s airfares, accommodation and other activities. In an effort to alleviate the demand on GEDC resources, the incumbent CEO at the time issued the Chairperson with a Purchasing Card in February 1999.
(b) The card was issued with a limit of $1,000 for both the amount and transaction and on the basis that it would be used for 'official Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission acquisitions only'. The card was issued in terms of the Public Service Guidelines for Purchasing Cards that prevailed at the time.
(c) The card is audited each month on receipt of the card statement to ensure compliancy with the 'Western Australian Corporate Credit Card Guidelines' that were issued in September 2000.
