Does your agency management philosophy recognise and promote the link between misconduct
resistance and agency performance at all levels and in all areas?
Do misconduct resistance issues form an integral part of corporate, strategic and operational planning
process and objectives, both annually and long term?
Are misconduct resistance principles and objectives used as a filter and applied as part of all project
planning, agency restructure and service review processes?
Are integrity and misconduct resistance objectives integrated into all business processes (e.g.
embedded in policies, operational procedures and guidelines, decision-making criteria and processes,
the assignment of authority and responsibilities)?
Are all of your agency’s misconduct resistance resources (e.g. Human Resource unit, compliance &
audit functions, legal services, records management, regulatory systems, quality assurance processes
etc.) coordinated in working towards achieving the objectives of the misconduct resistance approach?
Do your agency structures and systems support the integration of misconduct resistance activities
across all agency functions?
Have misconduct resistance strategies been implemented in all work areas across your agency?
Is this monitored in any way?
Is performance against misconduct resistance objectives included as part of your business unit
reporting?
SIgnS of SucceSS
All business units are accountable for demonstrating that they are implementing your agency’s
misconduct resistance strategies, with misconduct resistance being incorporated into your agency’s
general business reporting and performance measurement systems at the individual, work unit and
corporate levels.
Your agency has a strategy in place to ensure that the consideration of misconduct resistance
objectives and issues is integral to all core administrative, planning, decision making and service
delivery business activities.
Your agency’s management environment, as reflected in its management philosophy and operating
style, systems and structures, and assignment of authority and responsibility, actively promotes and
supports the integration of the misconduct resistance principles in all business activities and areas.
Staff in all work units view misconduct resistance as a fundamental part of business, something
everyone knows about and considers as part of their normal business activities.
