The Financial Disclosure Framework is a mechanism to allow staff in the public service to disclose private interests they have in order to avoid conflicts of interests. It was highlighted that the rate of returns for the Financial Disclosure Frameworks at 85% fell short of the 100% return rate required. The under reporting, the PSC found in terms of the framework, pointed to poor political and administrative leadership which put the Public Service at risk around potential conflicts of interest. The PSC highlighted that the lack of a national integrity system could be a cause of this underreporting; the system would take into consideration all the current tools that exist to fight corruption, but are not yet aligned.
