An auditor’s report into the financial dealings of the head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has cleared him of any wrongdoing.

Rajendra Pachauri had faced numerous allegations about his relationship with the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), a non-profit based in New Delhi of which he is the director general.

Now the Guardian newspaper has published a review of Pachauri and TERI’s financial records, conducted by the auditors KPMG.

“No evidence was found that indicated personal fiduciary benefits accruing to Dr Pachauri from his various advisory roles that would have led to a conflict of interest,” says the report.

In related news, the Sunday Telegraph has issued an apology for a story it ran last year on the relationship between Pachauri and TERI. It notes:

It was not intended to suggest that Dr Pachauri was corrupt or abusing his position as head of the IPCC and we accept KPMG found Dr Pachauri had not made “millions of dollars” in recent years. We apologise to Dr Pachauri for any embarrassment caused.
