The Department of Legal Affairs at the Presidency of the University of Baghdad, in cooperation with the Federal Commission of Integrity, held an awareness workshop on combating administrative and financial corruption and reducing its manifestations, and on strengthening the principles of integrity, transparency, and good governance in institutional work, with the participation of a representative of the Federal Commission of Integrity.
In his opening speech, the Assistant President of the University of Baghdad for Administrative Affairs, Prof. Dr. Raghad Abdulrazzaq Al-Hashimi, stressed the importance of taking measures that can limit the phenomenon of administrative and financial corruption, out of the institutional responsibility to entrench the principles of integrity and transparency and to strengthen good governance in university work.
Al-Hashimi noted that combating corruption is not limited to oversight bodies alone, but is a shared institutional and ethical duty. It begins with compliance with laws and instructions, simplifying administrative procedures, and strengthening accountability, and extends to building an administrative environment founded on efficiency, justice, and equal opportunity.
The workshop was presented by the representative of the Federal Commission of Integrity in the Department of Education and Public Relations, Hussein Qasim Al-Zubaidi, who addressed the topic of combating administrative and financial corruption and the importance of spreading legal awareness and strengthening a culture of integrity and transparency, thereby contributing to supporting efforts to prevent corruption and protect the public interest.
This activity contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, namely Goal 16, which calls for peace, justice, and strong institutions, in addition to Goal 17, which relates to partnerships for the goals.
