Monday 28 Jun 2021 Perceptions of corruption and integrity in the Victorian public sector
IBAC periodically conducts surveys of Victorian public sector and local government employees to understand how they perceive corruption and integrity within their own organisation. Employees' perceptions of organisational behaviours, ethical culture and areas of risk provide insight into possible gaps and weaknesses in corruption prevention controls. They also indicate where employees believe agencies should increase or focus efforts to reduce corruption risks and vulnerabilities.
