Hassan Abbaszadeh, who also serves as deputy oil minister, said the
industry’s role in the national economy makes adherence to administrative
ethics and stronger safeguards against financial misconduct increasingly vital.
He said an inter-agency task force on administrative integrity and
anti-corruption in the oil and petrochemical sectors has organised its work
around seven core areas. According to Abbaszadeh, the group’s achievements
include expanding electronic systems for financial and administrative
processes, reducing violations through preventive oversight, offering
specialised staff training, strengthening internal reporting mechanisms and
developing performance indicators to improve efficiency.
Abbaszadeh thanked members of the task force for what he described as
committed and responsible work, adding that collective effort was essential for
building a transparent and efficient environment.
Administrative Integrity Week in Iran’s oil industry runs from Dec. 9
to Dec. 15 and is organised by the Petroleum Ministry’s inspection and
performance oversight department in cooperation with the task force.
