Corruption
In recent years corruption in the public sector has gained increasing importance. This can be minimised through the use of effective governance and sound internal controls.
Proposed public-sector corruption survey
The International Consortium on Government Financial Management (ICGFM) is organising what it hopes will be the first annual survey on prevention of corruption work in the public sector. The aim of the survey is to learn about facets of corruption in government, document the perceptions which finance managers and others have of the problem and then analyse and report on the findings, with a focus on practical recommendations.
The ICGFM is currently developing its draft survey instrument and beginning to identify the participants in the survey. It is planned that the survey will focus on senior government financial managers at decision-making level, a selection of government officers at programme level and senior finance managers from the public sector.
The following survey rules are proposed:
- nothing is for attribution
- no one apart from the survey managers will know who was interviewed
- no lists will be kept or distributed
- respondents can choose the questions they answer (or not) and may add questions or comments.
If you are willing to be surveyed on the attitudes and actions of your government in relation to corruption then please e-mail publicsector@accaglobal.com
