The Kohanga Reo National Trust has been cleared of mis-using public monies, Education Minister Hekia Parata said tonight.
However she said improvements were needed around credit card returns and koha payments.
She released a report by Ernst and Young that she and Maori Affairs Minister Pita Sharples commissioned following allegations of mis-use on Maori Television's Native Affairs show.
All staff credit cards were cancelled at the time, in October last year, and Lynda Tawhiwhirangi, the general manager of the trust's subsidiary company Te Pataka Ohanga was suspended.
Dr Sharples and Ms Parata met the trust board tonight to discuss the report.
