• Loss of public money and delivery of substandard products and services through corruption, including bribery, "kickbacks", cartelism, fraud, nepotism, cronyism and clientelism, collusion and bid rigging;
• Fraud and theft of resources, for example through product substitution in the delivery which results in lower quality materials;
• Mismanagement of conflict of interest in the public service and in post-public employment which can lead to undue influence and "capture", resulting in contracts which are unnecessary and/or not aligned with public needs and interests;
• A threat to public health and safety, especially with drug and supply, and infrastructure works; and
• A decrease of public trust in government and public administration.
