Resolution AGM 18:1 That the apologies be accepted

Mover: Stephanie Hopkins Seconder: John Hall
Why: The motivation for change is a June 2018 recommendation from the three yearly International Accreditation process with Transparency International for TINZ to put in place term limits for its Board members. Gibson Sheat, experienced in the review and preparation of Rules, Constitutions provided advice. This draft been approved by TINZ Directors. We acknowledge Helen Bewley and Nigel Stirling from Gibson Sheat who volunteered his time and expertise.
Resolution AGM 18:2 That the proposed changes to the Rules of Transparency International NZ are agreed.
7
In summary the proposed rule changes are:
1.Board members to serve a maximum of three terms of three years or maximum nine
succession and leadership (13.4) Rule 13.4 Directors will be elected for a term from the date of their election until the conclusion of the third annual general meeting following their election. Directors will be eligible for re‐election after the expiry of their term. With effect from the date of the 2021 AGM Directors are not eligible to serve on the board for more than three terms or more than nine years. To avoid doubt all terms and years served prior to this restriction taking effect and all periods served in filling a vacancy under rule 13.5 are taken into account in the calculation of length of service as a Director.

The Coalition government is actively supporting transparency. Seasoned government watchers caution against getting too excited, noting that all Governments start out with high expectations of what they will do to strengthen integrity systems. It’s important to acknowledge, though, that the Coalition Government has built on the pro‐activity of public servants who have become increasingly knowledgeable about corruption prevention and strengthening integrity systems over the past 5 years.
11
The 2017 Corruption Perceptions Index, published in February 2018 that saw New Zealand’s public sector again in first place. There is always more to do as the more we learn about corruption, the more we understand its depth and breadth. We need to remain vigilant to detecting corruption and responding to fraudulent and corrupt activity. As Professor John Hopkins found when preparing the 2018 OECD report, Exporting Corruption, there is an increase in the Serious Fraud Office complaint and prosecution figures over the last five years. This news has been greeted positively as it demonstrates New Zealand is serious about detecting and preventing corruption.

Public Sector CEO Leaders Integrity Forums. During the period from July 2017 to June 2018 TINZ and the Office of the Auditor‐General hosted seven of these forums. The meetings offer public sector leaders opportunities to share their insights with peers and grow their collective knowledge about transparency, anti‐corruption and integrity.
The TINZ newsletter has been enhanced to cover a widening range of articles from TINZ subject matter experts, from TINZ Affiliated Organisations and from the Public Sector CEO Leaders Integrity Forums.
15
VUW Brian Picot Chair in Ethical Leadership Another high point for TINZ is the relationship between TINZ and the VUW Brian Picot Chair in Ethical Leadership. TINZ has greatly enjoyed working with Karin Lasthuizen and Victoria Beckett to jointly plan initiatives and events. One event featured Jose Ugaz, and on 21 March 2018, James Shaw outlined the role that transparency and accountability play in ensuring a sustainable (green) future.

Asia Pacific Regional Meetings and TI’s AMM TINZ hosted the 2017 Asia‐Pacific Regional Meeting in Wellington with attendees from Solomon Islands, Australia, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, South Korea, China, Peru, with Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia and Sri Lanka participating via Skype. Representatives from Transparency International in Berlin also attended

Financial Integrity Systems Assessment TINZ’s Financial Integrity System Assessment (FISA) approach has continued to develop. Its relevance was reinforced with the IMF FSAP recommendations and the Australian 2018 Banking Inquiry. NIS: In June 2018, TINZ progressed planning for publication of its 2nd Edition of the Integrity Plus 2013 New Zealand National Integrity System Assessment begun in 2015. Open Government Partnership National Action Plan TINZ remains closely involved with the OGP, now supporting the public sector initiatives to progress the third National Action Plan. Thanks to TINZ Member with Delegated Authority, David Dunsheath, for pushing for greater public involvement

Deputy Chair Aucklander David McNeil has been Deputy for 2017/18. Retiring and New Directors During the period three Directors retired and we welcomed two new Interim
new Directors Henry Lynch and John Hopkins, both of whom are already actively involved in TINZ activities. Mark Sainsbury greatly expanded TINZ media presence and Conway Powell raised the standard of contracting through his short time as a Director and member of the Personnel Committee. Three Directors ending their term or resigning effective this AGM are Charles Hett, Karen Webster and Gus de Roer. Thanks to all Directors, TINZ has achieved another profitable year.

Finance and Administration Committee Chaired by TINZ Treasurer, Christine Stevenson, TINZ’s Administration and Finance Committee efficiently progresses the Board’s operational processes. This is important because TINZ aims to follow the highest standards and policies. By managing operational activities at the Administration and Finance Committee, there is more time at TINZ Board meetings for deeper discussions around strategic topics. I would like to acknowledge Christine for her professionalism and reliable support. Rules, Ethics Committee Dr Karin Lasthuizen, the new VUW Brian Picot Chair in Ethical Leadership from Victoria University of Wellington, became the Chair of the Ethics Committee. Elected Director Charles Hett has accountability for the Ethics Committee with Auckland based TINZ Director David McNeill the third member of the committee.

common purpose, TINZ has an active Affiliations Team led by Luke Qin. In July 2017, the MOU was signed with the Institute of Internal Auditors NZ. In May 2018, FINTech NZ became a TINZ Affiliate and an MoU was signed between the two organisations. Since the end of the year we have signed an MOU with the United Nations Association of New Zealand.

Much of New Zealand’s international profile comes from its reputation as an open country, relatively free of corruption, with strong integrity systems and a strong legal system to under pin it. Let’s strengthen that reputation. I have previously been a Director of small family company and of the YWCA

Bio I am a general practice lawyer from a multicultural background and am fluent in the Korean language. I grew up in Auckland and am proud to call it my home. I am a member of the Auckland District Law Society’s Newly Suited committee and am also a member of several Korean community organisations. I am a founding trustee of Fortress Social Services Charitable Trust – an organisation devoted to assisting migrants to access legal services. Purpose for becoming a TINZ Director TINZ has a major responsibility in New Zealand civil society to call attention to corruption and prevent it’s spread. I have a personal passion for ensuring that all citizens are provided with the information and training necessary for them to understand how our society works. This combats corruption by empowering citizens to understand what corruption is and what transparency is. Historically New Zealand has relied on a sense of close‐knit community and fairness to combat corruption. However as we become a superdiverse country we need to ensure that all citizens are equipped with the knowledge to understand our system so that they are not vulnerable. Special Topic Areas: Civics & Human Rights, OGP, Auckland Events I confirm that I am willing to commit time beyond monthly board meetings to leading activities in my areas of delegated authority. I can assist with fundraising by planning events that raise awareness of TINZ.

My professional background includes experience in central and local government and private sector finance and general management across a range of industries including financial services. More recently I have been working with not‐for‐profit organisations in senior management and consultancy/advisor roles. I am a born and bred New Zealander growing up in rural NZ. I have travelled extensively and had the good fortune to work in Africa, the Pacific and Melanesia. I have been associated with TINZ since mid‐2013. I have previously served on the board; been contracted as the GM, Operations and am currently a Member with Delegated Authority. NZ is regularly recognised as the least (or ‘least equal’) corrupt country in the world. But there is much to be done to ensure we retain this ranking and more importantly the reputation that accompanies it. I want to continue to contribute to the
which government, politics, business, civil society and the daily lives of people are free
Special Topic Areas: Pacific, Financial Integrity Services Assessment (FISA), Affiliations I confirm that I am willing to commit time beyond monthly board meetings to leading activities in my specialist topic areas and to assisting with fundraising wherever possible.
