The CEO of a charity that made a $5.2million loss has been slammed for taking three staff on a 12,000km trip to Africa to lecture women on business.
Gold Coast-based charity FSG Australia, a freedom and social justice group, travelled to Zambia, Africa, in September after recording the multi-million dollar deficit.
The charity entered voluntary administration on June 30, despite receiving $60 million annually from the state and federal governments, the Gold Coast Bulletin reported.

FSG Australia, run by CEO Vicki Batten, travelled to Zambia as the charity’s fate hung in the air.
Administrators will decide whether or not the charity will fold and enter liquidation on August 3 this year.
The trip to Zambia, entitled ‘Justice Journeys’, included a business workshop, guest speakers and lavish lunch and drink packages.
