Currently the Department does not conduct lifestyle audits on its members of Senior Management Services. However, the Department uses the system of financial disclosures prescribed by the Public Service Regulation 2016, Section 18 (5). The system makes provision for disclosure of the following:
The department has appointed an Ethics Officer and established an Ethics and Integrity Committee to deal with matters relating to ethics, fraud and corruption. It must be noted that financial interest disclosed by members of the Senior Management Services (SMS) are verified by the Public Service Commission (PSC). The Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) and PSC monitor compliance and manage any conflict of interest situation that might be identified through the disclosure of financial interests.
