Former Statewide Super CFO & CRO charged with dishonesty offenses
Two former senior executives at Statewide Super have been charged with dishonesty offences related to their procurement of services.
Former Statewide chief financial officer, Grant David Eastwood, and former chief risk officer, Kieran Francis Netting, appeared before the Adelaide Magistrates’ Court on 9 December, 2022.
They were charged with six counts and one count respectively of using their positions dishonestly for the benefit of another, contrary to s184(2)(a) and (b) of the Corporations Act.
ASIC had alleged Eastwood dishonestly used his position in the procurement of a firm Cosight Pty Ltd (formerly known as Fintrix Systems Pty Ltd), to provide services to Statewide. He had commenced as Statewide CFO in February 2016.
Similarly, allegations against Netting including dishonestly using his position regarding a review he conducted connected to the appointment of Cosight to deliver services to Statewide. He had commenced as CRO in February 2017.
Following an internal investigation in 2020, both the executives’ employment was terminated in January 2020 and the conduct was reported to ASIC.
The matter has been adjourned to 28 February, 2023.
Statewide Super merged with Hostplus in April 2022.
