Probity ensures integrity, accountability, transparency and honesty. Upholding the highest standards of probity provides organisations with assurance and comfort that their activities comply with organisation values, legislation, policy guidelines and best practice.
Centium assists clients with ensuring good and robust decision-making, especially in relation to complex, high value and sensitive matters.
We support government agencies in guaranteeing probity and upholding the public interest in their operations, including procurement, disinvestment, contract negotiations, grants allocation & management, bestowing awards, planning and development, recruitment and appointments.
Probity is firmly grounded on and aligned with ethics. Ethical conduct entails aligning values and morals, acting with integrity and ensuring responsible behaviour and accountability. Ethical conduct is paramount to maintain trust and reputation and ensure efficiency and appropriate use of resources.
Centium works closely with our clients to maintain and improve their ethical conduct. We achieve this via our proven Probity Methodology, extensive suite of Ethical Conduct training packages and tailored advisory services, which are all based on Collaboration, Knowledge Transfer and Empowerment.
Probity can be defined as complete and confirmed integrity, uprightness and honesty. Upholding the highest standards of probity and integrity enables organisations to safeguard procurement, grants management and other major decision-making activities to ensure those activities and processes are robust and can withstand scrutiny.
The management of conflict of interest, whether actual or perceived, is crucial to ensure the integrity of decision-making and processes.
