Executive summary
The Local Anti-corruption System of Nuevo León (Sistema Estatal Anticorrupción para el Estado de Nuevo León, or SEANL), established in 2017, was created to implement the national anti-corruption reform launched in 2015 to ensure co-ordination and coherence among anti-corruption and integrity policies, institutions and initiatives at all levels of government in Mexico. This review provides an assessment of Nuevo León’s public integrity system, focusing on three main areas: building a strategic public integrity system, enhancing the culture of integrity in the public sector and improving internal control and risk management.
