Council squad tasked with finding answers to buried report
Hamilton City Deputy Mayor Geoff Taylor will head-up a special delegation to find out why a damning report on council procurement was buried from public scrutiny for two years.
The 2024 draft report from top financial firm KPMG has now been provided to the council’s new Finance and Assurance Committee, and reveals a total of $239 million (or 12%) of total contract values had not gone through tenders.
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
