Managing gifts and benefits for Hospital and Health Service employees

The CCC completed an audit evaluating the effectiveness of management controls and transparency in relation to reporting of gifts and benefits made by pharmaceutical companies to Queensland Government healthcare professionals in selected Hospital and Health Services (HHS).

This Audit Summary is for the advice of Chief Finance Officers (CFOs), staff involved in organisational compliance functions, and line managers, to help them better understand corruption risks and improve their prevention capabilities.

The related Prevention Guide for HHS employees, which includes FAQs and a decision tree, aims to address common scenarios and dilemmas in decision-making associated with any potential offer or acceptance of a gift or benefit.
