Expenses for entertainment, meals and drinks
IP Expert NZ made this Official Information request to Callaghan Innovation
The request was successful.
From: IP Expert NZ
Dear Callaghan Innovation,
I noted recently a group of your senior employees having drinks (alcoholic) and meals in Wellington and settling the bills with a company credit card. I must admit, this made me frown, since your outfit is tax funded.
Could you please provide an overview of the costs for the last three financial years relating to:
- Customer entertainment
- Meals, drinks, food
- Hotel costs
- Travel costs
Yours faithfully,
IP Expert NZ
