Wesberry, also a former US Government Accountability Office Adviser, talked about “Integrity and Honor, Corruption and Dishonor”. A multi-awarded international crusader against corruption, Wesberry came up with these character equations: “Integrity + Honesty + Accountability + Ethics + Credibility = HONORABILITY; Corruption + Fraud + Bribery + Irresponsibility + Inveracity = DISHONOR.”
To students aspiring to become auditors like him, Wesberry gave concrete examples of audit findings in local governments and discussed how advancements in the profession and real penalties discouraged fraudulent actions most of the time these were committed. Above all, he pointed out that integrity is the result of acting on wisdom arising from faith in God and noted that Filipinos had this character trait.
