CODE OF CONDUCT

Because we evaluate the performance and conduct of other ASG employees, we hold ourselves to high standards. Audit staff must:

Preserve Independence – Avoid conflicts of interest arising from relationships, financial interests, and responsibilities. Disclose potential conflicts to the Territorial Auditor before being assigned to a project.
Act with Professionalism – Conduct work objectively and treat staff and officials of audited agencies, co-workers, and public members with respect.
Make Proper use of Information, Resources, and Position – Protect confidential or sensitive information and do not use access to information or other ASG resources for personal gain or the detriment of ASG’s interests.

CORE VALUES

Accountability - We believe that government officials and agencies, including our office, are accountable to citizens for their performance, use of resources, stewardship of assets, and ethical conduct.

Transparency - We believe that free and open access to information is necessary for government officials and agencies to be accountable.

Integrity - We conduct our work and report results fairly, honestly, objectively, and independently. We strive to be accurate but will publicly acknowledge and correct our mistakes.

Quality - We are committed to producing high quality work and continuously strive to improve our performance.
