TY - JOUR AB - Compliance is becoming a strategic instrument of the Austrian Federal Ministry of the Interior as a body responsible for law and order. It serves to prevent and combat corruption and other undesirable forms of behaviour within the ministry's own ranks. In the discussion to date on the introduction of compliance in order to combat corruption in public administration, there has been a very strong emphasis on criminal legislation, owing to the various amendments to the Criminal Code in the past few years, and most recently the amendments to the Criminal Code that came into force on 1 January 2013 as a result of the Act of 2012 on Amendment of the Criminal Law on Corruption. Academic research into the organisational implementation of compliance tends to focus on business management in the private sector. The organisation of compliance structures at some companies is now of considerable scope. This paper will show that, when implementing compliance (which involves raising awareness and guidance) in public administration, which is governed by public service law, it is possible to rely on existing regulations and organisational units, rather than focusing on the creation of new regulations and organisational units.
