Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University continues its efforts to strengthen the values of integrity and transparency within the university environment, stemming from its belief that these values constitute a fundamental pillar for protecting national achievements and supporting the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
The University initiatives in this field have included organizing conferences, scientific meetings, and national participations, in cooperation with the Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority “Nazaha" and other relevant entities. These initiatives addressed various scholarly discussions on professional integrity, the role of faculty members and students in promoting transparency, and the importance of oversight in protecting educational institutions.

One of these seminars discussed integrity and combating corruption in the financial sector, focusing on companies as a model. Specialists and academics participated, addressing forms of financial corruption, its impact, and ways to combat it. They also presented international experiences and called for strengthening corporate governance standards.
Specialized colleges and centers at the university also contributed by launching discussion panels and academic meetings on institutional work and its impact on combating corruption.

The University efforts extended to the participation of the Deanship of Student Affairs, through the Nazaha Club, in national forums, supporting community initiatives and promoting a culture of integrity among youth. The club aims to instill integrity as a religious and national value by strengthening self-monitoring and spreading transparency through seminars, workshops, and exhibitions. These included the Legal Volunteering Forum, the “Nazeeh" exhibition, the “Ibaa" exhibition, and other specialized awareness events on combating corruption.
