Abstract
“Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.” Psalm 127:1 This biblical quote carries profound implications beyond its religious context. In essence, it suggests that regardless of the number of systems, safeguards, and laws in place, the ultimate protection lies in the shared moral values of the people involved. This is reflected in contemporary anti-corruption papers which increasingly emphasize fostering ‘integrity’ rather than just focusing on preventing and detecting corrupt practices. In the dynamic field of event management, this approach holds particular relevance. While robust systems and controls are necessary, cultivating a culture of integrity among all stakeholders can be far more effective in maintaining ethical standards. THE shift in focus from mere compliance to the promotion of ethical behaviour aligns well with the complex and fast-paced nature of event management where adaptability and trust are crucial.
