Oral Presentation
Prepared by G. Yakub

ABSTRACT
This presentation deals with personal, first-hand accounts of Laboratory Ethics and Data Integrity issues that I have encountered during my career as an Environmental Laboratory Auditor. Discussions include what I look for as an auditor to detect potential ethics and integrity issues, tools and strategies that Laboratory Managers and Quality Personnel can use to detect and deter laboratory fraud in their own facilities, and a discussion of how a laboratory can recover from ethics issues.
Current Laboratory Ethics and Data Integrity training has focused on concepts of ethics, behaviors to avoid, and potential punishments for unethical behavior. This presentation represents the next step in the Laboratory Ethics and Data Integrity education process, that of providing real-world examples of the information learned in the initial training phase, putting these important concepts into practice, and providing an insight into what auditors look for and how to perform your own ethics audit.
