SO2: Bribery and corruption policies

Goals 2005-06
Performance 2005-06 and trends

DEH manages risks of bribery and corruption in several ways. Staff are required to behave in accordance with the APS Values and the APS Code of Conduct, and meet relevant legislative requirements, including those for the efficient and effective use of public agency resources. We operate a rolling programme of internal audit activities, supported by external audit of our financial statements and third party assurance of our sustainability reporting. Internal and financial audit activities are overseen by an audit committee made up of senior staff.

There were no substantiated instances of bribery or corruption involving DEH staff in 2005-06.
