This document was part of the material examined by the Freehills team that was asked by the NPA Board to examine the matters. I have conveyed these facts to the Committee over the course of questioning at previous hearings. The document provided by the manager at NPA was held in strict confidence at his request.
This was a condition required by him, and the Bank agreed to it because it valued his willingness to come forward. Seeking professional legal expertise to assess the matters contained in this document, and the concerns raised in the audit, was a mark of how seriously they were taken. The decision to seek an external legal review was an important one.
