  1. University Sector Integrity Systems Project Currently comprises a coalition of representatives from 7 Universities… • University of Sydney (Craig Prosser) • University of Newcastle (Vic Lewis) • University of Western Sydney (Mark Cartwright) • University of Technology Sydney (Barry Munns) • University of New England (Jim Ellis) • University of New South Wales (George Gulyas & Maurie Brown) • University of Queensland (Phil Procopis & Bruce Mellor) • Plus ‘others’ looking in Barry Munns, University of Technology Sydney Ph. 02 9514 3122 Email barry.munns@uts.edu.au

  2. University Sector Integrity Systems Project • Arose out of the various ‘incidences’ that have occurred in the University sector in recent times… • Compliance / Regulatory agency interest… • The rapidly changing University landscape… • And basic / general knowledge by University Internal Auditors & Investigators what types of ‘things’ are happening, and why they are happening Therefore… pretty good idea that things are not entirely as they should be. Barry Munns, University of Technology Sydney Ph. 02 9514 3122 Email barry.munns@uts.edu.au

  3. University Sector Integrity Systems Project • Basic project brief is: • to prepare a proposal on the best approach to tackle these problems. • to obtain general agreement and then form a consortium to progress the project. • As we envisage at this time, the project will comprise two components… • A Risk Assessment of University sector Integrity Risks. • A paper identifying and describing the primary elements of a generally accepted University sector Integrity Systems framework. Note: need to source skills to undertake this research Barry Munns, University of Technology Sydney Ph. 02 9514 3122 Email barry.munns@uts.edu.au

  4. University Sector Integrity Systems Project • The basic premise is that Corruption is an outcome of poor or non-existent Integrity Systems within Universities. • Corruption (it could be argued) is relatively immaterial and peripheral to the University Sector’s ‘main game’. • Integrity Systems are (in contrast) a key component of Good Governance, and Good Governance is an absolute requirement to have a Good University.
