The Anti-Corruption and Ethics Commission (Yinese: 廉政道德委員會; Jinping: Lim4 zing3 dou6 dak1 wai2 jyun4 wui2), commonly abbreviated as the ACEC is the statutory independent anti-corruption body of Yingok with the primary objective of combating corruption in both the public and private sectors. Established in 2001 with the Anti-Corruption and Ethics Act under the presidency of Fung Likwai, the ACEC is headed by the Commissioner, currently Ze Daanming, who reports directly to the Chief Justice of Yingok, Wu Suk-fan. The ACEC has played a crucial role since its founding in addressing corruption in the country, a notable issue that continues to the present day.
The establishment of the ACEC came as a response to to growing concerns over corruption and general political incompetence in Yingok that had played a large part in Yinese politics since the founding of the First Republic. As stipulated in the Anti-Corruption and Ethics Act, the ACEC operates independently while the Commissioner of the organisation is nominated by the Chief Justice and appointed by the National Diet.
The ACEC is responsible for carrying out investigations, preventing crimes, and educating the public. It looks into reports of corruption-related crimes, carries out operations to reveal corrupt behaviors, and holds the power to detain, investigate, and confiscate assets. Moreover, the ACEC focuses on preventing corruption by examining and enhancing systems and procedures in government departments, public bodies, and private organisations. Additionally, they provide guidance and support in implementing successful anti-corruption strategies. The ACEC also conducts public education and awareness initiatives to promote ethical standards in society and urge the public to report corruption.
