Integrity is the bedrock of effective public governance, ensuring that government and public officeholders serve the interests of all citizens and promote economic prosperity and societal well-being. Financial integrity is a beacon of hope, referring to a financial system operating transparently and accountably, free from corruption and illicit activities.
The Public Financial Integrity Thematic Area of the Centre aims to promote legislative reforms to strengthen regulations governing gatekeepers, enhance corporate ownership transparency, and facilitate the return of stolen assets to their countries of origin.

Ensuring public financial integrity is crucial to mitigating corruption risks, especially considering the significant economic and political damage corruption can cause, leading to a breakdown of public trust.
