How is the KHPA OIG able to provide increased accountability in KHPA’s programs and operations?
Accountability is an ethical concept that relates to decision-makers being held responsible for their “actions, products, decisions, and policies, including the administration, governance and implementation within the scope of the role or employment position and encompassing the obligation to report, explain and be answerable for resulting consequences.” The KHPA OIG provides increased accountability by examining KHPA’s decision-making processes, and reporting subsequent findings to the public. Furthermore, based on its review, the KHPA OIG will make recommendations for improving KHPA programs and operations to help KHPA meet its mission.
