Almost 36 per cent of council staff surveyed believed "fraud in management and administration is prevalent in council".

Professional services firm Deloitte conducted the study in August, before the release of the Independent Commission Against Corruption's final report into corruption allegations.

The "Fraud Control Plan" was commissioned to assess "the adequacy and effectiveness of council's controls for preventing and detecting fraud and corruption".

The council has not released the full report yet, which surveyed 388 council staff - 138 of whom thought fraud was prevalent. A council spokeswoman said the results were "fairly typical," when compared to other organisations involved in similar investigations.

"This took place between the release of the second and third ICAC reports into behaviour at Wollongong council ... to establish a benchmark against which future surveys can be measured to show improvements resulting from changes being implemented at council," she said.

"The results have been benchmarked against those for other organisations which had also been involved in corruption investigations around the time of the survey," the council spokeswoman said.

Since ICAC released its final report, the council has taken steps to prevent corruption.

ICAC has praised steps the council has taken to stamp out corruption and prevent a repeat of the scandal.

"Under its new leadership the council has fully co-operated with the commission's investigation and expressed a strong desire to implement a comprehensive range of corruption prevention measures," ICAC's report said.

The full Fraud Control Plan will be tabled at the council on February 24.
