The bombshell announcement comes hard on the heels of former chairman Craig Stobo stepping down and questions over the future of the current CEO Samantha Barrass.

In a statement the board says Barrass is on leave as it begins an urgent assessment of workplace culture concerns.
This week Stuff revealed that allegations had been raised by multiple former employees around “cultural concerns.”

“The FMA Board has recently become aware of cultural concerns at the FMA and is assessing the matters raised as a matter of urgency.”
