Defines a central agency (that can be the specialized ACA) as the main structure responsible for enforcing the national CoI legislation (particularly concerning high-level officials). In this model, the ACA can be responsible for investigating allegations of irregularities and mismanaged CoI. In some situations, the ACA may be able to impose or recommend administrative sanctions against officials found in breach of CoI rules.
In this model, CoI management is performed by the line managers in relation to appropriate internal codes of conduct and disciplinary rules. The ACA’s function may include providing support and guidance for implementation of rules and procedures and ensuring their uniform application throughout the public service, as well as providing training.
