Melbourne Magistrates Court was on 16 December 2014 told of the deceptions allegedly perpetrated by Andrew Jeffery Flanagan. He was made group GM strategy and business development at department stores chain Myer in mid-2014, but lasted just one day in the role before it emerged that he had faked the qualifications and experience on his resume. Flanagan has been granted bail ahead of a directions hearing on 17 December, and has been committed to stand trial on seven counts of fraud and theft. He had also duped the Australia Arab Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Bendigo Health and Specialty Fashion Group

In a surprise move, Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) has announced the departures of high-ranking executives from the iron ore mining group. Director of developments Peter Meurs, director of health, safety, environment and security Isak Buitendag, director of shared services Peter Thomas and senior manager Kevin McCafferty have all stepped down. The news has sparked fears about job security among FMG staff, given the recent rapid fall of the iron ore price. On 3 December 2015 FMG stock gained $A0.14 to close at $A2.71

Department stores chain Myer has appointed a new executive. Gary Williams has wide experience and is currently with the Westfield property group. He will take up the position in August 2014. Myer CEO Bernie Brookes said that Williams was not directly replacing Andrew Flanagan, who was sacked on his first day after the discovery that his resume was fraudulent. Brookes said that Williams will be involved with strategic development, while Flanagan’s role was to be financial management
