Post-public employment problem areas

This chapter reviews major types of post-public employment offences. It begins by examining a problem area that arises before the official actually leaves government: seeking future employment outside the public service. Problem areas involving public officials after they have left office include: conducting post-employment lobbying back to government institutions switching sides in the same process or using insider information. The chapter reviews the problem resulting from the re-employment or re-engagement of former officials by public organisations, for example, to do the same tasks they performed in the private or non-profit sectors.
