Anti-Bribery University Management System

In order to prevent, manage, and confront bribery, the University of Cundinamarca adopted the Anti-Bribery University Management System, which consists of institutional guidelines that serve as a tool to fight against corruption both inside and outside the Institution.

Through this guide, you will learn what this strategy consists of and how you can file a complaint if you suspect misconduct that may be classified as bribery.

It is an institutional strategy that seeks the prevention and fight against bribery, and it has the commitment of the University Community, ranging from the Governing Bodies, Senior Management, officials, and contractors of UCundinamarca.

Overview of the complaint:

• Through the website, at the link Report the bribe
• Or through the physical mailbox located at each branch.
• You can attach documentary support and/or evidence or not.
• It might be anonymous.
• Confidentiality is guaranteed
• We protect you from retaliation.

Starting in 2021, the Institutional Planning Directorate initiated an analysis process to identify how prepared UCundinamarca was for the prevention and management of risks associated with bribery. Thus, based on this analysis, the implementation of institutional guidelines began for the adoption of an anti-bribery strategy that would act directly on activities that could be exposed to this scourge. Since that moment, hard work has been done on identifying and defining controls and contractual management guidelines in technical and core-mission areas. Meanwhile, the Planning Directorate promoted the update of the Autonomous Code, incorporating behaviors that contribute to the prevention of bribery with the purpose of strengthening the culture of integrity and transparency at UCundinamarca. All of this is what has made possible today the adoption of an Anti-Bribery University Management System with a broad scope ranging from Senior Management to business partners, contractors, suppliers, senior management officials, and the academic community in general.

The Global Guidelines for Anti-Corruption, Anti-Fraud and Anti-Bribery Management were adopted through Rectoral Resolution No. XX by Rector Dr. Adriano Muñoz Barrera, who, in his permanent quest to generate well-being for the university community he represents, expressly prohibits any practice related to offer, promise, deliver, accept, or solicit personally or through an intermediary an undue advantage, financial or non-financial, for their own benefit or that of a third party, as an incentive for a public servant of UCundinamarca to do or refrain from doing an activity, contrary to the legal system.

Our Institution has the Anti-Bribery University Management System, with measures that seek to prevent, detect, and address bribery and generate a culture of integrity and transparency!

The University of Cundinamarca, within the framework of institutional management with credibility and recognition in the permanent pursuit of generating well-being for the academic community and administrative staff, expressly prohibits any practice related to offering, promising, giving, accepting, or requesting, personally or through an intermediary, an undue advantage, financial or non-financial, in favor or for the benefit of oneself or a third party, as an incentive for a public servant, contractor, official, or member of the academic community of the University to perform or fail to perform an activity, contrary to the legal framework.
