Be accountable for integrity

This part of the integrity framework is where the authority assures itself and external stakeholders that its approach to integrity is working as intended.

All officers are responsible for acting with integrity but ultimate accountability rests with the authority head.

This section covers:

5.1 response to integrity breaches
5.2 self-analysis and review.

It is not sufficient merely to have the controls in place. They must be exercised conscientiously and continuously, and not be allowed to fall into decay or disuse because employees are busy, overloaded or merely lazy. Every manager and supervisor has a primary responsibility to ensure that procedures and controls are followed faithfully.
