What is the integRation guide?
The Integration Guide is a practical starting point, designed to help you implement the Misconduct Resistance
Framework in your agency. It is targeted at managers and others in specialist positions who have responsibility for
the development, implementation and monitoring of agency misconduct resistance strategies.
The guide contains detailed information about each outcome and provides a methodology for achieving these
outcomes. The key elements underpinning the outcomes each have a set of Focus Questions and Signs of
Success, with supporting Ideas to Build Capacity for each outcome area.
The guide also includes a reference and resource section to help you access more detailed information should
you need to.
FOCUS QUESTiONS identify some of the potentially relevant issues that your agency may need to consider
against the key elements. They are designed to help you evaluate how comprehensive and effective your current
strategies are, and to help identify areas that may need further attention.
SiGNS OF SUCCESS are descriptions of the types of results your agency should be working towards for a particular
key element. They provide examples of what could be seen in agencies that have successfully implemented a key
element.

Misconduct is a significant business risk for all public sector agencies, and the costs of failing
to manage it effectively can be severe. In a 2006 survey, KPMG found that 47% and 32% of
Australian businesses, including the public sector, respectively reported fraud and unethical
conduct by staff. The most commonly reported conduct risks (after fraud) were misuse of
resources, false sick claims and disclosures of information.
