The CPIB investigates instances of corruption, with an emphasis on public procurement fraud, money laundering, bribery, conflict of interest cases, abuse of power by public servants or office holders, unapproved commission agents' activities, false accounting practices, implementation frauds and offenses relating to gratifications. It also conducts educational campaigns on anti-corruption through awareness talks at schools and organisations.
