The ICAC will be launching new local government procurement guidelines in Tamworth on 12 September. These guidelines, which are called "Taking the Con: Guidelines for managing corruption risks in local government procurement and contract administration", identify the main risk areas for local councils in relation to contracting and procurement. They also examine a number of measures that can be adopted by councils to address risks in all forms of contracts and hence build corruption resistant practices. For more information on the ICAC's local government strategy visit the ICAC's website: http://www.icac.nsw.gov.au .
e-Corruption research summary is planned for release during September.
'Recos on the web' is a new section of the ICAC's website where the ICAC has published information which describes what agencies have done in response to recommendations made in ICAC investigation reports.
NSW Government Sector Profile: The ICAC is planning a survey to explore how corruption-related issues and risks differ amongst agencies. The ICAC is seeking to develop a profile of the functions, corruption risks and prevention strategies in place across the government sector. To our knowledge this is the first time such an exercise has been undertaken in NSW or elsewhere. For more information about this project contact agorta@icac.nsw.gov.au .
