Employees of the Education Authority (hereafter referred to as the Authority) have a responsibility to ensure that resources provided by the public purse are properly utilised in pursuit of the targets for which they were allocated and, in doing so, ensure that the scope for fraud to be perpetrated against the interests of the Authority is minimised. The Authority, in common with other public sector organisations, operates a zero tolerance policy in relation to fraud and requires all employees, at all times, to act honestly and with integrity, and to safeguard the public resources which have been entrusted to the Authority.
