### sec.34 Principles for performing corruption functions
It is the Parliament’s intention that the commission apply the following principles when performing its corruption functions—
Cooperation
to the greatest extent practicable, the commission and units of public administration should work cooperatively to prevent corruption
the commission and units of public administration should work cooperatively to deal with corruption
Capacity building
the commission has a lead role in building the capacity of units of public administration to prevent and deal with cases of corruption effectively and appropriately
Devolution
subject to the cooperation and public interest principles and the capacity of the unit of public administration, action to prevent and deal with corruption in a unit of public administration should generally happen within the unit
Public interest
the commission has an overriding responsibility to promote public confidence—
in the integrity of units of public administration and
if corruption does happen within a unit of public administration, in the way it is dealt with
the commission should exercise its power to deal with particular cases of corruption when it is appropriate having primary regard to the following—
the capacity of, and the resources available to, a unit of public administration to effectively deal with the corruption
the nature and seriousness of the corruption, particularly if there is reason to believe that corruption is prevalent or systemic within a unit of public administration
any likely increase in public confidence in having the corruption dealt with by the commission directly.
