Integrity Promotion Campaign for Public Bodies

Over a hundred organisations in Hong Kong are scheduled or defined by law as “public bodies” because their operations and services provided are closely related to people's livelihood and have significant bearings on public interests. Employees and members of the governing body (e.g. the council, board or committee) of these public bodies are “public servants”. In light of the high public expectations for the integrity of public servants, employees and members of public bodies should stay vigilant of corruption risks to ensure that services delivered by their organisations are free from corruption and malpractice.

To enhance the corruption prevention education of public servants and continue to entrench the integrity culture in public bodies, the ICAC launched a two-year “Integrity Promotion Campaign for Public Bodies” in 2020/21.
Objectives
Strengthen public servants’ understanding of anti-corruption laws and regulations and heighten their alertness to corruption risks for meeting public expectations
Encourage public bodies to have effective integrity management system in place to plug corruption loopholes
Enlist the support of public bodies to partner with the ICAC for entrenching the integrity culture

Strengthen and extend the coverage of integrity training for public servants
The ICAC stands ready to organise integrity training on various themes for public bodies. Apart from briefings for new recruits and frontline staff on the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance and corruption risks, integrity training with tailor-made contents are also available for the managers, board members, etc. To facilitate the training, the ICAC has produced a series of new training videos with real-life scenarios to highlight the corruption-prone areas at work and ethical challenges faced by staff at all levels and members of the governing body of public bodies.

Outline of ICAC Integrity Training
