Annual Integrity Report FY 2005-2006

The World Bank's second Integrity Report, covering fiscal years 2005 and 2006, was issued on 6 February, 2007.

"When we find that scarce development dollars have been wrongly diverted from their intended purpose of benefiting the poor, we have a responsibility to take action. [The Integrity Department's] work helps us to fulfill this obligation to the poor, who are our ultimate clients, by detecting and deterring fraud and corruption, and by working with others across the Bank to mitigate risks in future operations."

- Paul Wolfowitz, President, World Bank Group, February, 2007
