Toronto's former city treasurer, who resigned in 2001 under the cloud of a multimillion-dollar computer-leasing scandal, may face professional misconduct charges.

Wanda Liczyk has been ordered to appear on Jan. 25 before the disciplinary committee of Ontario's Institute of Chartered Accountants.

Institute spokesman Perry Jensen told CBC News that he cannot divulge the exact charges at this time.

"Until they are presented in the disciplinary committee to the member, they are confidential," Jensen said.

The institute decided last year not to charge Liczyk with professional misconduct, even though a judicial inquiry found she had been in a position of conflict of interest. The case went before the organization again after an independent reviewer asked last fall for the institute to reconsider their decision.

Liczyk was responsible for the city's finances during a computer-leasing scandal five years ago, in which a $40-million contract with MFP Financial Services swelled to more than $100 million.

During a 2005 judicial inquiry into the scandal and how the city awards contracts, Liczyk admitted to directing business to a former lover. Liczyk resigned from City Hall in 2001.
