This review analyses the Anti-corruption Policy of the State of Mexico and Municipalities,
highlighting its strengths (i.e. inclusion and rigour) as well as the need to include
specific integrity risks (i.e. policy capture) to make it more comprehensive. The
review analyses how the State Government could develop ownership of ethical rules
and values to effectively influence public officials’ behaviour. It also assesses
the internal control and risk management scheme of the State of Mexico, providing
an overview of its good practices and weak points. Finally, it examines the role of
the administrative liability regime for state public officials and its effectiveness
in ensuring accountability. It describes the legal framework for administrative responsibilities,
which provides a comprehensive and solid foundation for enforcing integrity rules
and standards, but requires support to improve implementation.
