About the book ETHICS IN GOVERNANCE Amidst modern complexities and riddles, executives and organizational heads face immense ethical dilemmas in their decision-making. Circumstantial adversaries pose unique challenges and threats to their conscience and leadership abilities. This book tends to address such dilemmas, threats and challenges in a rather systematic and elucidate manner. It attempts to construct perspectives that may find practical solutions to governance rigor and internal moral conflicts. This is a book full of people, almost too many of them who took part in a national seminar on 'Ethical dimensions of governance' organized at India International Centre: executives, politicians, jurists, media people, medical practitioners, academicians, and organizational heads. Those who were philosophically as well as emotionally interested in the inter-faith debate and who believed in trying to create a synthesis of different belief systems on governance. So there is a kind of internal moral dialogue and deliberations that are captured by the authors. There are countless anecdotes, some humorous and some poignant, and they are fascinating also because such people have never been so exuberant in the public eye anyway. Individuals who are responsible for good governance and deep-down care ethical practices and human values would get enough impetus reading this book. It is also meant to benefit those who want to understand the realities of governance and based up on that want to frame their own philosophy of work and life. This book would further be useful to students and professionals who would like to learn the pitfalls of governance and there-upon set benchmarks for their future endeavors. Nevertheless, if you are unhappy allowing your trinity (intellect, soul and heart) to do the talking in the context of governance then this text cannot be recommended. Governance:- Public Policy • Corporate Sector • Public Sector • Health Care • Banking Industry • Environment Sector • Leadership challenging corruption • Tasks and Solutions for the Future.

Audits provide essential accountability and transparency over government programs. Given the current challenges facing governments and their programs, the oversight provided through auditing is more critical than ever. Government auditing provides the objective analysis and information needed to make the decisions necessary to help create a better future. The professional standards presented in this 2018 revision of Government Auditing Standards (known as the Yellow Book) provide a framework for performing high-quality audit work with competence, integrity, objectivity, and independence to provide accountability and to help improve government operations and services. These standards, commonly referred to as generally accepted government auditing standards (GAGAS), provide the foundation for government auditors to lead by example in the areas of independence, transparency, accountability, and quality through the audit process. This revision contains major changes from, and supersedes, the 2011 revision.

This book analyzes China's bureaucratic behavior since the inauguration of administrative reform in the late 1970s. Although bureaucratic behavior in China in the past decade was increasingly corrupted, this aspect of China's post-Mao reform has not been subjected to a rigorous scrutiny. This book explores the gulf between desired and the actual bureaucratic behavior among China's public administrators. The author argues that this behavioral gap in China's modernization stems from several factors including the nation's cultural heritage, the ruling party's approach to government, and the absence of trusted, full-fledged academic groups assigned to advise on administrative reform. The book then probes one of the gravest consequences of the behavioral gap: 'reform corruption', a phenomenon which seems to be a mixed blessing of modernization.
