Incidents of fraud, misconduct, and corruption will diminish the credibility of your public sector organization, greatly reducing your ability to meet the goals of your organization, and essentially hurting the public, the very people you are meant to serve. Your need for public trust and support is essential, and preventing misconduct is key to maintaining your credibility.
