Abstract:

Probity audit is an independence assessment activity to ensure the goods/services procurement processes have been implemented consistently appropriate with the principle of upholding integrity, uprightness, honesty and fulfill certain occur legislation aimed for improving the accountability for the use of public sector fund. Probity audit is done in real time simultaneously with the goods/services procurement process. This study aims to evaluate the suitability of the implementation of probity audit conducted by BPKP Headquarter as agency that initiated the implementation of probity audit in Indonesia compared with the Probity audit Guidelines for Procurement of Goods/Services as criteria. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of probity audit conducted by BPKP Headquarter has been implemented adequately, but there are activities that do not fit the criteria, especially in the activities of the determination of the scope of the audit, the preparation of working papers and the follow-up monitoring of the audit results. Probity audit merupakan kegiatan penilaian (independen) untuk memastikan bahwa proses pengadaan barang/jasa telah dilaksanakan secara konsisten sesuai dengan prinsip penegakan integritas, kebenaran, kejujuran dan memenuhi ketentuan perundangan yang berlaku yang bertujuan meningkatkan akuntabilitas penggunaan dana sektor publik. Probity audit dilakukan secara real time yaitu bersamaan dengan pelaksanaan pengadaan barang/jasa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan evaluasi kesesuaian pelaksanaan probity audit yang dilakukan oleh BPKP Pusat selaku instansi yang menginisiasi pelaksanaan probity audit di Indonesia dibandingkan dengan kriteria berupa Pedoman Probity audit Pengadaan Barang/Jasa Pemerintah. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan probity audit yang dilakukan oleh BPKP Pusat sudah dilaksanakan secara memadai, namun masih terdapat hal yang belum sesuai dengan kriteria terutama dalam kegiatan penentuan ruang lingkup audit, penyusunan kertas kerja dan pemantauan terhadap tindak lanjut hasil audit.

Abstract:

Purpose Through a case study on the governance structures of the UN, the purpose of this paper is to develop a critique of Public and Private Bureaucracies Transaction Cost Economics (PPBTCE) (Williamson, 1999) as a theoretical lens to analyze internal oversight structures. Design/methodology/approach The authors explore “probity” and “independence” transactions’ attributes through historical narrative case-based research to answer the question – Why did numerous attempts to strengthen the governance of UN internal oversight structures not relieve “probity” hazards? Findings The analysis shows that at the UN increasing and strengthening the governance of oversight structures, i.e., incentives, did not relieve probity/ethics hazards as predicted in PPBTCE. Secretaries-General and UN General Assembly, entities charged with oversight powers, systematically trumpeted the UN Charter, breaching probity/ethics and disregarding the supervisory independence prerogative of internal oversight structures, hence failing to contribute to the “common good” and to protect the UN mission. Originality/value This paper is the first application of PPBTCE to internal oversight transactions within an International organization context testing probity and independence attributes. The authors find that “independence” outweighs the “asset specificity” attribute whenever decisions on the governance of internal oversight arise. As far as sourcing decisions are concerned, the authority of the sovereign and the independence of the judiciary as well as quasi-judiciary transactions are not transferable attributes and, thus, cannot be contracted along with the actors’ ethics. PPBTCE should be modified to include, e.g. “virtues ethics” behavioral assumption as a transaction costs’ reduction device and explanatory framework for “probity” hazards, abandoning the opportunism behavioral assumption.

Abstract:

Goods and services procurement in the university sector is a big chance towards fraud case occurrence. Corruption in the university environment resulted in state loss in the amount of two billion rupiahs. Therefore, The internal auditor of University X implements a probity audit as one effort to materialize the procurement system with low fraud possibility. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the understanding of fraud prevention using probity audits on goods and services procurement in the university sector. This research was carried out using a qualitative approach, with a case study method. The data collection was conducted by document analysis and interviews. The data obtained is then reduced, identified, and analyzed. The results conclude that the probity audit in University X is a real-time audit which one conducted in the construction and maintenance stages. Based on the internal auditor evaluation result, a probity audit rated sufficiently to prevent fraud in the goods and services procurement process in the University X.

Abstract:

This paper reviews the impact of increasing state regulation of financial advice and its effect in requiring much higher levels of competence and probity, so stimulating professionalisation, though in doing so, pre-empting the traditional role of established professional bodies in securing competence and probity. Is it still possible at the end of the twentieth century for new professions to emerge? If so, is a new model of the professions in prospect?

The treasury single account model was introduced in the Federal Republic of Nigeria to mitigate financial leakages, promote probity and prevent misappropriation of government revenue and also consolidate government accounts, this is a bid to prevent embezzlement and high handedness by revenue generating agencies. This work examined the performance, bottlenecks and prospects of treasury single account policy in Nigeria. The paper being qualitative as it relies heavily on secondary data. The study was underpinned by the systems theory. The study concluded that the implementation of the treasury single account has blocked financial leakages, promoted probity and accountability to a very large extent in the public financial system. Consequently, the paper suggested for a synergy between the executive and legislature to enforce and ensure compliance to the provisions of the TSA by ministries extra ministerial department and financial institution.

Abstract:

Abstract Pascal and the „Proof by Power“. Nietzsche’s Examination of a wounded intellectual conscience. This paper sheds new light on Nietzsche’s praise of Pascal’s probity by analysing what the German philosopher calls the „proof by power“. This proof, adopted by Christianity at large, consists in making pleasure and well-being the very criteria of truth and, as such, it represents for Nietzsche a sheer dishonest form of reasoning. When Pascal finally decides to use this proof in the Pensées, he is already conscious of its lack of scientific value and of its dishonesty. Nietzsche thus reveals in Pascal’s thinking the torments of a wounded intellectual conscience, torn between its fidelity to the Christian tradition and its probity inspired by this very piety. In this respect, the famous wager’s argument appears as a testimony of this tension: it is a brilliant but desperate attempt of giving this „proof by power“, which the scientific rigor it is fundamentally lacking.

Abstract:

Public procurement legislative reforms have proved to be a veritable economic development mechanism. This reform seeks to streamline, legalize and institutionalize public procurement practices in order to achieve the objectives of transparency, accountability, probity and anti-corruption. Using the Polytechnic Ibadan as a case-study, the paper X-ray some of the basic features and expectations of public procurement law regime. It observes that procurement law regime seeks to achieve the purpose of good governance through institutionalization of standard procurement practices. The data collection tool used was structured closed and open –ended questionnaires for the respondents who had been involved in the procurement process including survey of related literature on public procurement. In the course of testing the hypotheses, regression analysis was used to test the impact of public procurement in the execution of capital projects. The result of the findings reveals that Public Procurement Law had not made any significant impact on the execution of capital projects in the Polytechnic, Ibadan. The paper posits that if Nigeria nation must achieve the objectives of openness, transparency, probity, accountability and reduced corruption in line with global best governance institutional reform agenda, efforts should be intensified to deepen public procurement practices across all the government institutions.

This article examines the career of a police superintendent at Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire between 1851 and 1861 as a case study of policing in a small town in the mid-nineteenth century. His ten-year service as chief of police witnessed his repeated breaching of the norms of probity and ethical behaviour, and his dishonesty revealed systemic weakness in maintaining police accountability. Personal and private interests compromised his public duties and this conflict led to his dismissal from the force.

In order to promote accountability, probity and transparency, corporations must indulge in good corporate governance practices. This paper reviews extant literature on corporate governance; construct a framework that links corporate governance mechanisms to good corporate governance through board and ownership control systems and thereafter, develops a testable proposition. It also indicates ways in which the various variables in the framework can be measured. The principal recommendation is since most of the variables in the framework cannot be measured quantitatively, this paper recommends corporate governance investigators to adhere to qualitative research approach.

Abstract:

AbstractAre international labor rights campaigns making a difference in Latin America? This article reveals that Dominican policymakers and bureaucrats are responding to foreign pressure by redoubling their commitment to a distinctively Franco-Iberian model of labor law enforcement, in which skilled labor inspectors use their discretion to balance society's demand for protection with the economy's need for efficiency. In so doing, they provide an alternative to traditional collective bargaining practices—which at least partly decouples both the intensity of the enforcement effort and the degree of worker protection from the level of unionization—and an example for the rest of the region. The article therefore concludes by reconsidering the Central American experience in light of the Dominican findings and discussing their joint implications for our understanding of administrative reform, industrial relations, and globalization, not only in the so-called CAFTA countries but in Latin America more generally.

Abstract:

Abstract The main goal of this paper is to investigate empirically whether the adoption of the common currency increases the export activity of individual frms using the probity model. There are many studies that seek to estimate the aggregate trade effects of the adoption of the euro by the “outside” EU countries, which are based on the gravity model. In contrast to the existing literature we use an alternative micro econometric approach based on firm level data compiled by the EBRD and the World Bank. We demonstrate that the propensity to export of individual frms from Slovenia and Slovakia increased after the accession of those countries to the Eurozone.
