Ethical standards
PSR’s Audit Committee requires periodic updates on PSR’s strategies to establish and maintain ethical standards.
In 2008–09, PSR integrated ethical standards throughout its business through:
- specific reference to the APS Values and Code of Conduct, PSR’s Chief Executive Instructions and relevant policies and guidelines in its Business and Strategic Plans
- use of the Australian Public Service Commission’s Integrated Leadership System throughout the Performance Development Scheme
- redevelopment of its governance plans and policies, including its Fraud Risk Assessment and Fraud Control Plan 2008–10 and Privacy Policy.
All staff participated in fraud awareness training and training in the APS Values and Code of Conduct.
