AUSTRAC integrity assessment (ACLEI corruption prevention report)
Communicating important aspects of how we operate and are performing is vital to maintaining the confidence of the Australian public and our partners. This includes other government agencies, industry, academia and international counterparts.
We are committed to meeting the high standard of ethics expected in performing our functions. We are dedicated to improving our integrity framework to support our honest, professional and fair workforce that embodies the Australian Public Service Values and Code of Conduct.
In 2017 we partnered with the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity (ACLEI) on a self-assessment of the development of AUSTRAC’s integrity maturity.
ACLEI published the resulting report, Mapping integrity – an ACLEI corruption prevention report in partnership with AUSTRAC, on 9 July 2018.
