Standards Of Employee Conduct

Need Improvement

Standards of ethical conduct for Federal em-
ployees of the National Science Foundation
do not adequately address certain issues with
which employees must deal in carrying out
their official duties. Also, the Foundation
could improve its programs for making em-
ployees more aware of their responsibilities
under the standards, providing advice and
guidance on questions of ethical conduct,
and identifying areas in which additional
guidance is needed.

GAO recommends that the Foundation cor-
rect identified deficiencies and periodically
review and evaluate the standards to identify
needed revisions. GAO also recommends that
to more effectively implement its standards
of conduct the Foundation should

     --take actions to increase employee
     awareness of the standards,

     --develop training for personnel that
     provide advice and guidance to em-
     ployees on ethics questions, and


-make better use of available informa-
tion to evaluate the standards and
identify areas where additional guid-
ance is needed.
