Fiji’s outsourcing and business process management industry participated in an Anti-Corruption Awareness Session to strengthen governance practices and maintain highest standards of integrity in its operations.
Outsource Fiji said the awareness provided participants with a comprehensive understanding of corruption-related offences, including bribery, abuse of office, conflicts of interest, fraud, solicitation, official corruption, and other unethical practices that can undermine organisational credibility and public trust.
The training also examined the legal consequences and penalties associated with such offences under Fiji’s legislative framework where participants explored practical workplace scenarios and discussed strategies for identifying, preventing, and reporting corrupt behaviour while maintaining impartiality, professionalism, and accountability in the workplace.
The session was facilitated by the Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC), which highlighted the importance of organisational policies, internal controls, and ethical safeguards that protect both employees and institutions from corruption risks.
Speaking at the awareness, Outsource Fiji executive director Josefa Wivou said integrity remained fundamental to the organisation’s mission and leadership role within the industry.
“The strength of any organisation is not measured solely by its achievements, but by the values that guide its decisions. At Outsource Fiji, we recognise that integrity, transparency, and accountability are the cornerstones of sustainable growth and credible leadership,” Mr Wivou said.
Outsource Fiji manager Corporate Affairs Shivika Patel said the training reinforced the importance of embedding ethical behaviour across all levels of an organisation.
Outsource Fiji Marketing and Communications consultant Pravin Narain said strong governance and ethical awareness were increasingly important in maintaining Fiji’s reputation as a trusted outsourcing destination.
