As reported by the ABC, the NSW RSL inquiry report is recommending the former preseident Don Rowe be referred to police.
After a year long inquiry, the State Governmen has released a report which heard evidence Mr Rowe spent $475,000 on a corporate credit card, including $213,000 in cash.
Evidence also saw his son use a presidential suite at a four-star Sydney hotel for seven years, with the room paid by the RSL.
The inquiry also heard Mr Rowe used his corporate credit card to cover meals, mortgage repayments, mobile phones and flights for family members during his 11-year tenure.
When he resigned in 2014, the RSL and the public was wrongly informed the decision was due to ill health.
NSW Minister for Better Regulation Matt Kean said he referred Mr Rowe to police on Friday.
"The report details the shameful and disgraceful behaviour of former president Don Rowe and the culture which allowed him to get away with it," he said.
"It also highlights appalling oversight, shocking business practices and leadership which can only be described at best as being utterly inept."
During his evidence, Mr Rowe apologised to the organisations involved "and to the members of the public, who have donated money to each of the RSL in NSW."
Mr Rowe can be prosecuted over the matters considered by the inquiry, but the evidence he provided at the hearings cannot be used against him.
The report is scathing of the NSW RSL and in one part laments: "The integrity of each of RSL NSW, RSL WBI and RSL LifeCare has been compromised by a combination of sheer ineptitude and cronyism and in the case of RSL NSW, disreputable conduct of the long-serving president, Mr Rowe."
"A sad consequence of the exposure of this conduct is the prospect of a loss of trust in the RSL."
Mr Kean said Mr Rowe showed complete disregard for thousands of volunteers and one of NSW's most-loved organisations.
