Statement of integrity

For roles where trust, security and reliability are essential, a Statement of Integrity can be used as a risk-reducing measure during the recruitment process.

The candidate completes a questionnaire covering topics such as previous employment, financial circumstances, conflicts of interest and other factors that may affect suitability for the role.

The purpose is to provide employers with a broader basis for decision-making and help identify potential risk factors at an early stage of the hiring process.

An easy way to identify risks

By including a Statement of Integrity as part of your background screening process, employers gain a broader basis for assessing a candidate’s reliability and suitability for the role. The candidate completes a digital questionnaire and signs their responses to confirm that the information provided is truthful and accurate.

The Statement of Integrity acts as a risk-reducing complement to other background checks and can help employers identify factors such as financial risks, conflicts of interest, or other circumstances that may be relevant to the position.

A Statement of Integrity can provide insight into:

potential financial risks
secondary employment and external engagements
involvement in criminal proceedings or financial misconduct
circumstances that may affect a candidate’s suitability or reliability

All responses are handled and stored in a secure digital environment. Candidates complete and sign their responses through their personal account. DISA never processes personal data via post, email, or telephone.

The results are compiled and included in the final screening report. Both the employer and candidate can access the report.

Because the process is fully digital, candidates can complete the questionnaire whenever and wherever it suits them best.

A Statement of Integrity should reflect both the role and the organisation’s risk profile. That is why DISA helps tailor the questionnaire based on the questions most relevant to your organisation.

Examples of questions that may be included

A Statement of Integrity may include questions across several different areas depending on the role, level of responsibility, and the organisation’s risk profile. The purpose is to provide employers with a broader basis for decision-making and help identify circumstances that may be relevant to the position.

Have you answered the questions truthfully and to the best of your knowledge?
Are there any circumstances in your background that could affect your reliability or suitability for the role?
Have you ever been involved in criminal proceedings or financial misconduct cases?
Have you or any of your businesses ever been declared bankrupt?
Is your financial situation stable in relation to your income and assets?
Have you ever been suspended, dismissed, or had an employment terminated by court order?
Do you hold any external positions, board memberships, secondary employment, or other activities outside your primary employment?
Are there any circumstances that could give rise to a conflict of interest?

The questions are typically answered with yes or no, with the possibility for the candidate to provide additional information where needed.

It is also possible to tailor the Statement of Integrity with organisation-specific questions based on your business needs.

An important complement to background checks

Background checks do not always provide the full picture. By allowing candidates to answer questions about areas such as financial circumstances, secondary employment, previous work-related issues, and potential conflicts of interest, employers gain a broader basis for recruitment decisions.

This helps organisations identify potential risks at an early stage and make safer, more informed hiring decisions.
