4 What is Probity? Probity is where I leave my brain at home and just do what I m told a client cet I m not against probity, I just don t want it to interfere with what I m doing another client Probity will cause delays to my project 4
5 Am I Effected? Yes!! It does not cause delay or add costs. It generates value from proper reflection & efficient handling; Probity should be viewed as a key element of governance, setting the tone for how things are done. 5
6 Essential Elements of Probity All procurement processes be fair, open, transparent to all parties and be defensible. The essential elements of probity that must exist throughout a procurement are: 1. Compliance with legislative obligations and government policies; 2. Effective management of conflicts of interest 3.

8 Ethical Decisions you may confront? 8 questions to ask yourself when conducting procurement activities: 1. What would the reaction be if the decision was front page of the Herald Sun? 2. Do you think (or would a reasonable person think) it is the right thing to do? 3. Can the action be supported? 4. Is the action legal? 5. Is the action consistent with the organisation s Code of Conduct? 6. Is the action consistent with your organisation s Policy and Procedures? 7. Is there going to be any benefit to you or your friends? 8. What will be the outcome for your organisation, your colleagues and yourself? IF YOU ARE UNSURE, seek help. 8
