DOC would not make any further comments on next steps until they had considered the findings of the external review.
The Department of Conservation (DOC) has launched an external investigation following concerns regarding relationships with iwi and processes such as procurement and debt management.
The revelations come after RNZ approached DOC on Friday with a series of questions regarding its Northern North Island region.
In a statement, DOC's Deputy Director-General Public Affairs Sia Aston told RNZ they were aware of concerns raised about how the region had "managed relationships with iwi and processes including contracting, procurement and debt management".
