Gifts, Benefits and Hospitality Register

The CSV register records all offers of gifts, benefits or hospitality valued at $50 or more, whether accepted or declined. It is intended to maintain high levels of integrity and public trust and support employees and CSV to avoid any actual, potential or perceived impropriety and conflicts of interest.
