Özet: Nowadays, corruption and fraud are being covered in news continuously. Starting in 2004, the fifth Malaysian Prime Minister, Tun Abdullah Badawi had launched a National Integrity Plan (NIP) to fight corruption and behold the nobility of integrity among civil servants. Malaysian Institute of Integrity (IIM) was then established, and IIM together with a few Malaysian university academicians developed a tool called Corporate Integrity Assessment Questionnaire (CIAQ) to measure the level of integrity in an organization adopted from a global Ethics and Integrity Benchmark previously introduced by Joan Elise Dubinsky from The United State of America. CIAQ consists of 12 Dimensions, in which each dimension has its own descriptors making a total of 214 questions pertaining to the level of integrity in the organization. In total, 179 respondents from Public Sector A (PSA) and 151 respondents in Public Sector B (PSB) take part in this assessment by completing and returning the questionnaires. All responses received have been screened for missing data, outliers, withdrawal from normality and other fitting checks for irregularity. Both public sectors have shown that their overall scores are slightly above 50% in which 56% for PSA and 53% for PSB. These results indicate that they are beginning to implement ethics and integrity mechanisms in their organization to maintain the highest levels of transparency, integrity, and professionalism.
