The Commission uses a range of mechanisms to build public sector capacity and assist public authorities to prevent, identify and respond to serious misconduct. One way is by making recommendations and publishing reports on the outcome of investigations, to expose instances of serious misconduct and to provide anti-corruption lessons for individuals, the private sector and public authorities.

Recommendations made to an agency or appropriate authority may be about:

• whether consideration should or should not be given to prosecuting or taking disciplinary action against particular persons; or
• taking other action in relation to identified matters.
