Confronting corruption - The business case for an effective anti-corruption programme

As global executives continue to seek growth opportunities in challenging markets, exposure to the reputational, legal, operational, and financial impacts of corruption will continue to rise. Recognising this situation, business leaders are searching for risk mitigation strategies that also contribute to their corporate sustainability efforts.

Highly publicised scandals and expectations of increased government enforcement have established corruption risk as an inescapable reality in the minds of executives. While there is a firm commitment to tackling corruption, companies need to do more to protect themselves. The gap between corruption risks and companies' anti-corruption programmes, as well as guidance to remedy it, is explored in PricewaterhouseCoopers' Confronting corruption* report.
