The study aims to evaluate the implementation of fraud and anti-corruption strategies and policies with particular reference to the Department of Arts and Culture. The misuse of public funds by greedy individuals is alarming. Allegations of corruption are increasingly implicating to government officials and high ranking officials, which leads to a lack of good governance in the public sector and lack of trust by the ordinary citizens of this county in their leaders and the government systems that are in place. Government has capacitated itself with human resource capital to ensure that service delivery improves and that the country is steered into the right direction both socially and economically. Government has also put in place anti-corruption strategies for the public service that public servants must adhere to in order to ensure that corruption is curbed, but with all the systems and process in place the public service still finds itself having to deal with cases of corruption and misuse of funds. The DAC is a national department and subscribes to the anti-corruption strategies of government. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the implementation of anti-corruption strategies in the Department of Art and Culture by analysing current fraud prevention strategies and policies. This research study analyses and assesses current methods used to combat corruption in the DAC and systems and methods to monitor corruption in the public service and with the possibility of benchmarking those new approaches for use by the DAC. The study emphasises the roles of employees and senior managers in the DAC and also looks into issues of professionalism and moral behaviour as one of the tools that can assist in curbing the problem of corruption. The research method used in this study to unsure that the objectives of the study are achieved is a qualitative research approach. A desk top method and referring to textbooks, articles and journals was the method that was utilised. The findings of the study proved that even though the DAC is commended for developing and putting in place anti-corruption strategies and policies there are still challenges in terms of implementation. As a result, the study made some recommendations after the numerous arguments with regards to the subject matter were presented. This is done in an effort to ensure that there is effective policy implementation and adherence to the rule of law.
This book is designed to help students, researchers, and practitioners understand public corruption and anti-corruption practices from an international perspective. It describes the problems governments face in dealing with public corruption, outlines strategies that have and have not been implemented by the government, and explains why some countries have achieved great success with handling corruption and why others still struggle to do so. It contains useful knowledge about public corruption and strategic approaches to preventing, reducing, and combating corruption.
In a largely corruption-free environment, anti-corruption agencies, ethics offices, and ombudsmen strengthen the standards of accountability. In countries with endemic corruption, however, the same institutions function in form but not in substance; under a best case scenario such institutions might be helpful, but the more likely outcome is that they help to preserve social justice.
International anti-corruption treaties, including the UN Convention against Corruption, require member states to establish two types of anti-corruption institutions – one to prevent corruption and the other to combat corruption through law ...
The "Groupe d'Etats contre la corruption" (GRECO) is established at the Council of Europe. GRECO evaluates in several steps the legislative and administrative instruments of its member states in the fight against corruption, and thus makes obligatory suggestions for improvement. Based on the "First Evaluation Round", this study compares the corruption-relevant national regulations of the criminal law and names their weaknesses. Moreover, the book analyzes in which way law enforcement agencies are organized and which authorities are available in the fight against corruption. Additionally, the immunity regulations-which could particularly stand contrary to the fight against corruption in the political sector-are evaluated. Institutions against Corruption systematizes the recommendations passed by GRECO, judges their coherence, and ventures a first assessment. Readers interested in corruption fighting will not only gain comparative legal insights, but also prospects on the recommendations with which GRECO intends to improve the fight against corruption in 35 of its member states.
Despite the growth in literature on political corruption, contributions from field research are still exiguous.

Addressing the need for a nuanced and subtle set of circumstances and factors, this book presents detailed and context-sensitive empirical evidence by comparing differential institutional changes in Turkey’s public sector with regard to the civil administration, public finance management and public procurement, and the influence wielded by the EU, the IMF, the World Bank, the OECD and other external actors . It shows that when the costs emanating from power struggles between politicians and bureaucrats are low and co-ordination between administrative stakeholders is high, external actors have a greater role to play in this process
