Australian Office of Financial Management staff blew the whistle to Treasury on their concerns about the $1 trillion debt agency’s restructuring, loss of workers, and the performance under chief executive Anna Hughes, Treasury boss Jenny Wilkinson has confirmed.
The outreach from AOFM officials to Treasury deputy secretary Damien White, combined with poor staff census results and a high turnover of employees, prompted Wilkinson to commission an independent review of the debt agency by former Reserve Bank of Australia deputy governor Guy Debelle, she told a Senate committee on Wednesday.
