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
