Fraud and Corruption
The University of Newcastle is committed to "upholding the highest standards of academic, personal and business integrity...and to practising the values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility" (Building Distinction 2007 – 2011). It therefore promotes an organisational culture that will not tolerate any act of maladministration, fraud or corrupt conduct.
The University of Newcastle is established under NSW legislation; it is regarded as a "public authority", and as such falls within the jurisdiction of the (NSW) Independent Commission Against Corruption Act (ICAC Act). Under the ICAC Act, the University must comply with statutory reporting obligations. In addition, allegations or complaints of corrupt conduct against the University of Newcastle may be investigated by ICAC.
A program of Fraud and Corruption Prevention is currently being developed to support the University's commitment to integrity and honesty.
