The Dunedin City Council has hired a new financial controller.

Former financial controller Maree Clarke resigned in September, over the Citifleet fraud.

Her replacement will be chartered accountant Gavin Logie.

He has a commerce degree from the University of Otago, and has spent more than 25 years working in the financial sector.

For the last 15 years he's worked in the university's financial services division.

Logie will start at the council on the 9th of February.

He's the latest to be employed by the council, to replace senior staff who resigned last year over the Citifleet scandal.
