Integrity Report of the Federal Administration - Annual Report 2022

A sound and sustainable administration thrives on the trust of its citizens. The prerequisite for this trust is the integrity of the administration. Administrative integrity means that in Germany all employees in the public sector make decisions in a lawful, incorruptible and objective manner. One measure of the integrity management of the federal administration is the report on integrity in the federal administration (integrity report). The Federal Ministry of the Interior and Home Affairs (BMI) submits the Integrity Report annually by 30 September, for the first time by 30 September 2021, to the Committee on the Interior and Home Affairs (InnA) and the Budget Committee (HHA) (via BMF) of the German Bundestag. The integrity management of the federal administration includes various aspects of administrative integrity such as national and international corruption prevention, transparency with regard to the services received by private individuals such as sponsorship, donations and other donations in favor of the federal administration and the deployment of external persons in the federal administration, as well as internal audits in the federal administration. On the recommendation of the Federal Court of Auditors (Bundesrechnungshof, BRH), the BMI has proposed to merge existing reports into an integrity report from the 2020 reporting year onwards. The InnA agreed to this procedural proposal at the 102nd meeting on 7 October 2020 and the HHA at the 75th meeting on 28 October 2020. The Integrity Report thus combines, for the first time since the reporting year 2020, the previously separate reporting: - on the prevention of corruption in the federal administration, - on sponsorship services to the Federal Administration, - on the use of external persons (staff exchange and knowledge transfer) in the federal administration and - on individual issues of internal audit in the Federal Administration.健全且可持续的行政体系，有赖于公民的信任。而此类信任的前提，是行政体系的廉洁性。行政廉洁性指德国所有公共部门雇员均以合法、廉洁且客观的方式作出决策。 联邦行政体系廉洁管理的一项核心衡量标准，便是《联邦行政廉洁报告》（Integrity Report）。联邦内政和内政事务部（Federal Ministry of the Interior and Home Affairs, BMI）需于每年9月30日前提交该廉洁报告，首次提交时间为2021年9月30日，提交对象为德国联邦议院的内政与内政事务委员会（Committee on the Interior and Home Affairs, InnA）以及预算委员会（Budget Committee, HHA，通过联邦财政部BMF转交）。 联邦行政廉洁管理涵盖行政廉洁性的多个维度，包括国内外腐败预防、面向私人主体的联邦行政服务透明度（如赞助、捐赠及其他有益于联邦行政的资助形式）、联邦行政体系外聘人员的聘用管理，以及联邦行政内部审计工作。 根据联邦审计法院（Bundesrechnungshof, BRH）的建议，BMI提议自2020报告年度起，将现有多项分散报告整合为一份统一的廉洁报告。内政与内政事务委员会（InnA）于2020年10月7日召开的第102次会议上通过了该流程提案，预算委员会（HHA）则于2020年10月28日召开的第75次会议上通过了该提案。 因此，自2020报告年度起，《廉洁报告》首次整合了此前分散的多项报告内容： - 联邦行政体系内的腐败预防工作 - 面向联邦行政体系的赞助服务情况 - 联邦行政体系外聘人员的使用情况（含人员交流与知识转移） - 联邦行政体系内部审计的相关专项议题
