Anticorruption and Integrity

What to Report

Anyone who believes or has evidence that fraud or corruption may have occurred or is occurring related to any ADB-financed activity should report that information to the Integrity Division (OAGI). ADB's Anticorruption Policy designates the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) as the point of contact for all such concerns. OAG established OAGI to analyze and, if appropriate, investigate whether fraud or corruption has occurred.

Allegations may be reported with attribution or anonymously. However, anonymous reports are much harder to investigate as it may be more difficult to ascertain the truth, anyone making an allegation is encouraged to provide some means that will allow OAGI to communicate with him or her. OAGI strictly honors confidentiality, and will not reveal the identity of any allegation or source of information without express authorization.

To report allegations, please provide as much information and detail as possible, including who, what, when, where, why, and how. For example

• Who do you think committed the corruption or fraud? Who else was implicated? Who else might have been involved?

• What happened? Describe the events fully and using as much relevant detail as possible.

• When did it happen? Provide dates, time, and how many times.

• Where did it happen? Include not only the city and country, but, if possible, an actual address, the name of the building, the office number.

• How does your allegation relate to ADB business? Was ADB staff involved?

If you have documents, photographs, or other physical evidence of the alleged fraud or corruption, please send that information to OAGI, either with your report or separately.
