The New South Wales corruption watchdog has been cleared of maladministration after an inquiry by the inspector of the Independent Commission Against Corruption into the length of the investigation into the former premier Gladys Berejiklian.

The inspector, Gail Furness, also found Icac needed to change the way it operated, noting the “enormous” impact the investigation had on all those involved.
