The final report by Independent Investigators BDO Auckland which looked into allegations of abuse of office by current and former USP staff has been received by the USP Deputy Pro Chancellor Aloma Johansson and the Chairman of the USP Audit and Risk Committee Mahmood Khan.

The USP Council is scheduled to meet in Nadi next Thursday and Friday to receive the report and deliberate on the findings.

The independent investigators have made some very valuable observations and recommendations.

The allegations are laid out in a leaked confidential report which was presented to the Executive Committee of the USP Council in March this year.

The report was put together by Vice Chancellor Professor Pal Ahluwalia.

It details allegations of quick appointments and contract renewals for some senior members of the university - many of them work at the Laucala campus in Fiji.

There are also details of alleged breach of policy in past financial decisions as well as questionable promotions and questionable allowances for some staff.
