What is Institutional misconduct?

Institutional misconduct refers to unethical or illegal actions carried out by organizations or institutions, often involving violations of laws, regulations, or ethical standards. This can include practices such as fraud, corruption, discrimination, or failure to uphold safety and ethical guidelines. Such misconduct can undermine trust in institutions, lead to significant legal repercussions, and harm individuals or communities affected by these actions. Addressing institutional misconduct often requires transparency, accountability, and reform measures to prevent recurrence.
