You will:
A. Investigations
- Assess reports of alleged integrity violations to ensure they meet IEF criteria (credibility, materiality, verifiability) for further action.
- Plan and lead investigations into fraud, corruption, and staff misconduct (including workplace harassment and retaliation), ensuring each inquiry is conducted following ADB's legal frameworks and internal procedures.
- Gather and analyze evidence from internal systems, project records, and external stakeholders (e.g. contractors, consultants), and conduct in-depth interviews with complainants, witnesses, and subjects - all to establish a fair factual record.
- Prepare comprehensive investigation reports detailing findings, and present well-founded recommendations to ADB's oversight committees (Integrity Enforcement Committee and Enforcement Appeals Committee) for decisions on sanctions or remedial actions.
- Monitor enforcement of outcomes, following up on the implementation of sanctions and remedial measures (including cross-debarment with other institutions), and analyze case trends to inform improvements in ADB's integrity risk mitigation.
- Conduct integrity due diligence (IDD) assessments on projects, partners, and beneficiaries, providing risk-based insights to preempt fraud and corruption in ADB-supported activities.
B. Policy-Related Matters
- Develop integrity policies, including refining OAI's internal procedures and harmonizing frameworks (such as cross-debarment arrangements with other international financial institutions), to support ADB's anti-corruption and integrity goals.
- Review and advise on ADB policies related to integrity and governance, recommending improvements aligned with international best practices in fraud prevention and accountability, and contributing to broader governance initiatives (e.g. ADB's Governance Thematic Group).
C. Knowledge Management
- Deliver integrity training and capacity-building programs for ADB staff and developing member country counterparts (e.g. technical assistance projects, anti-corruption workshops) to strengthen awareness and skills in preventing fraud and corruption.
- Produce and communicate knowledge materials (such as articles, case studies, and best-practice guides) to highlight OAI's work and lessons learned, and promote a culture of integrity through workshops, seminars, and other outreach events.
D. Others
- Be a focal point for specific OAI client departments or thematic issues, being an expert resource and ensuring collaboration and communication between OAI and other stakeholders.
- Support OAI's broader mandate by contributing to important office outputs (e.g. Annual Reports, policy reviews) and participating in cross-departmental initiatives, while also mentoring and guiding junior staff to uphold the highest integrity standards.
