Universiti Teknologi Malaysia’s Organisational Anti-Corruption Plan (OACP), outlining its zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption, key institutional risk areas, and structured strategies for prevention, detection, and governance oversight.

The policy adopts a zero-tolerance stance towards all forms of bribery and corruption and identifies key risk areas such as procurement, financial management, human resource management, and project implementation. It outlines targeted mitigation strategies, including strengthening internal controls, enhancing compliance mechanisms, and promoting accountability in decision-making processes.
