OCTAVIAR LIMITED (ASX.OCV)

Former Chief Financial Officer of Octaviar Limited, Mr David Mark Anderson, of the Gold Coast, Queensland, appeared in Southport Magistrates Court charged with twenty-six counts of fraud under the Criminal Code (Queensland). ASIC alleges that between 18 June 2012 and 21 September 2015, Mr Anderson, while a director of Octaviar Investment Holdings No 3 Pty Ltd (OIH3), dishonestly applied $4,611,571.86 of OIH3 money for his own use.

reports in the SMH that on the first day of liquidators' examinations into MFS, now Octaviar, David John Kennedy (employed as chief operating officer) described uncontrolled spending of MFS executives, ''Mickey Mouse'' approval processes and a hostile culture in which the company's chairman, former Liberal leader Andrew Peacock, screamed at staff - Mr Kennedy told the NSW Supreme Court he started work for MFS in May 2007, as chief operating officer - a role that no one at MFS ever lasted long in - he said real decisions were made at board level, and that Michael King was ''the decision-maker'' - an internal investment approval committee could reject a proposal, only to have Mr King override the decision and approve it anyway
