 In 2006, Ozouf was the first Minister in Jersey's history to be reprimanded for breaching procedure after he gave extra funding of £95,000 to Jersey's Battle of Flowers Association against the advice of his own officers

In 2012, Ozouf was the subject of criticism over the States of Jersey's failed plan to purchase "Lime Grove House", an office building, for the intended use as a new police headquarters for the States of Jersey Police.Senator Sarah Ferguson lodged a vote of censure against Ozouf, which was later withdrawn.According to Ozouf the "Lime Grove House" building would have been unsuitable, and as an alternative, part of the adjacent Green Street public car park could be used as a site for a new police headquarters.
