26. I am aware of fraud or corruption incidents in the last two years that have been reported but gone unpunished by my organisation.
Observation:
92.9% of respondents are not aware of any fraud that has gone unpunished in their organisation.
This view was shared by senior managers and staff alike and across all sectors.
What some respondents have said:
“I believe that fraud and corruption is viewed seriously but the extent of the disciplinary measures maybe some what lacking or inconsistent across the organization.”
“I am aware of one issue of fraud that led to the early resignation of an individual over 5 years ago. I learnt about this through unofficial channels (i.e. the cafeteria), and have not heard of any other such incident since.”
“Two years ago, a person was dismissed for fraud, and despite my written recommendation, the Principal did not get the police involved. We have a new Principal, who I believe would involve the Police.
