Public Integrity as the Cornerstone of Anti-Corruption Policies

Abstract

Various systems and utilization of technology have been developed to increase public participation, transparency, and accountability for government performance. However, corruption is still an important problem that has no end. So that The Anti-Corruption Working Group (ACWG) is committed to eradicating corruption in the next three years. This study uses the Index of Public Integrity by ERCAS as a strong basis for the formation of anti-corruption policies by the ACWG to control acts of corruption in the G20 countries. To provide more direct implications, this study examines the six indicators in it. This study uses panel data with the Fixed Effect Model in IPI testing of the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) in 43 countries that are members of the G20 with a research period of 2016-2022. Panel data testing is continued with the classical assumption test and partial hypothesis testing. The results of the study show that CPI can be increased by increasing online services, e-Citizenship, Judicial Independence, and Press Freedom. While Administrative Transparency and Budget Transparency have a positive relationship but do not significantly affect CPI. The test results show that Public Integrity can be used as a basis for preparing anti-corruption policies by the ACWG by prioritizing the implementation of policies that meet the aspects of public integrity indicators.
