Integrity good practice guide

Integrity data

There is a variety of data available which can tell different ‘stories’ about integrity within an agency. Whilst measuring integrity performance is not mandatory, it is good practice for agencies to use integrity indicators to identify risks, measure the effectiveness of integrity controls and monitor workplace culture and practice.

  • The APSC has published an Integrity Metrics Resource to support agencies to understand their current integrity measurement capability and make informed decisions on where to focus future effort.
  • DITRDCA issues a quarterly integrity dashboard to senior executives to measure, monitor and report on integrity performance. The dashboard assesses if integrity arrangements are working as intended and supports senior management decision making. It is intended that the dashboard will be shared across the department.
  • Finance has established a quarterly Integrity Dashboard which it shares with all staff to provide visibility of key integrity data (for example, conduct, financial and procurement data), including to identify emerging risks. It regularly reviews and reassesses data points to ensure that they are being correctly interpreted and accurately represent the integrity picture.
