Abstract
Purpose
This chapter looks at the development of the concepts of ethical governance within the English local government structure. It examines this development by reference both to the current crisis in funding and service provision, and also to the development of standards for good governance and integrity.
Design
The chapter draws upon a national survey that was conducted by the authors in 2012.
Findings
The chapter suggests that while there may have been a wish to create more opportunities for devolved decision-making in English local government through changes in legislation, those policy-makers surveyed thought that the structures and processes of decision-making might be weakened.
Implications
The chapter indicates not just the need for further studies but also a more holistic exploration of the relationships between the ideas of ‘good governance’ and whose different interests are met through such changes.

Abstract
The issue of corruption has come to centre stage. The economic consequences of pervasive corruption, and the recent trends towards democratization, have increased the pressure for accountability and transparency from those in office. Acknowledges that there are no easy solutions or models that can be applied in the fight against corruption. Argues that, while each country is unique in its own history and culture, its political and administrative systems, and its stage of development, similarities do exist, and experience and lessons are often transferable. Building on the notion of a national integrity system as a comprehensive approach to fighting corruption, examines two of the eight pillars of such a system, namely public sector anti‐corruption strategies and watchdog agencies.

Abstract
Purpose
Government institutions in Indonesia have implemented an integrity system as a strategy to prevent fraud and corruption by integrating the risk management and organizational ethics. This integration is important to increase the awareness of fraud in the organization. Based on self-determination theory, this study examines the mediating effect of fraud awareness on risk management and integrity systems.
Design/methodology/approach
The study was carried out by using a quantitative approach. The participants of the survey were auditors of the inspectorate of Ministries and Government Agencies in Indonesia. The number of respondents was 103 auditors. The hypothesis testing method used the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The data were processed by using WarpPls 7.0 software.
Findings
There are two main results in this study. First, risk management directly affect the integrity of the system. Second, fraud awareness mediates the relationship between risk management and integrity systems.
Practical implications
The result of this study implicates the policymakers in Ministries and Government Agencies in Indonesia to increase organizational fraud awareness through the involvement of internal audits with risk management. The fraud awareness will greatly improve the performance of the integrity system.
Originality/value
This is the first study examined fraud awareness of integrity systems and risk management. This study can enrich the literature on internal audits, especially the duties of auditors with risk management.

Abstract
Public procurement provides a fertile ground for corruption in the Nigerian public sector. Reforms to create an effective public procurement system, which have been almost exclusively the governmentʼs affair, seem to be yielding insignificant results. Effective reforms to control corruption in public procurement systems must be sustainably participative and inclusive of all essential stakeholders in the society. Most importantly, the preconditions for achieving a sound public procurement system are integrity and commitment to good governance practices through the provision of welldesigned legislation and supporting regulations and review processes.

Abstract
In this paper, we present a conceptual and terminological system – what we term the ‘Comprehensive Integrity Framework’ – capable of applying to both personal and institutional integrity, and to different levels of institutions (including sub-institutions and institutional complexes). We distinguish between three sorts of integrity: consistency-integrity (whether the agent’s acts accord with her claimed values); coherence-integrity (whether the agent’s character and internal constitution accord with her claimed values); and context-integrity (whether the agent’s environment facilitates her living up to her claimed values). We then employ this conceptual system to explore similarities, differences and overlaps between personal and institutional integrity, drawing in particular on moral philosophic work on personal integrity (on the one hand) and on ‘integrity systems’ and public administration approaches to institutional integrity (on the other).
