And on April 29 at the Novotel Brighton Beach, the man telling them how will be none other than former Wollongong City Council general manager Rod Oxley.

An ICAC inquiry found that Mr Oxley had engaged in "conduct liable to allow, encourage or cause the occurrence of corrupt conduct" during his time at the council.

But Mr Oxley said experiences in Wollongong had given he and former council communications manager Neryl East a "fairly good" insight into what can go wrong.

"The question we'll be asking is - 'what would their organisations do in that situation?'," he said.

"It's a means of being able to share our experiences and hopefully help people who may find themselves in a similar situation."

While some might be checking their calendars to make sure it's not a belated April Fool's Day joke Mr Oxley said his presentation with Ms East would draw on lessons learned from the scandal that culminated in the sacking of Wollongong City Council in 2008.

It was about "what can be done from a risk management perspective", he said.

The ICAC inquiry found an unprecedented level of corruption existed within the council, spanning five tiers of local government. Mr Oxley, council planner Beth Morgan and managers Joe Scimone and John Gilbert were among 10 individuals found by the ICAC to have engaged in corrupt conduct.

Commissioner Jerrold Cripps recommended criminal charges against Ms Morgan and Mr Scimone, but not Mr Oxley or Mr Gilbert.

Mr Oxley has been making regular headline appearances since the inquiry, sparking controversy with his book, Named and Shamed, in which he attempts to clear his name.

On Saturday the Mercury reported that Mr Oxley had married Sally Absalom.
