Bribery directly damages your business and your reputation. However your business is not the only victim. The big losers are the government and the larger society, both of whom are severely undermined by the weakened rule of law and damaged economic and social development. As such, Governments worldwide are making anti-corruption programs an integral part of regulation and compliance. The OECD and its member countries see the core principle in fighting corruption as rooted the principle of free and fair competition. Each bribe offered or accepted reduces this – it steals from the larger society.
The key to successfully fighting corruption is education and training together with continual reinforcement of the basic concepts and principles.
