The private sector plays a pivotal role in fighting corruption worldwide. Transparency International's Global Corruption Report 2009 documents in unique detail the many corruption risks for businesses, ranging from small entrepreneurs in Sub-Saharan Africa to multinationals from Europe and North America. More than 75 experts examine the scale, scope and devastating consequences of a wide range of corruption issues, including bribery and policy capture, corporate fraud, cartels, corruption in supply chains and transnational transactions, emerging challenges for carbon trading markets, sovereign wealth funds and growing economic centres, such as Brazil, China and India. The Report also discusses the most promising tools to tackle corruption in business, identifies pressing areas for reform and outlines how companies, governments, investors, consumers and other stakeholders can contribute to raising corporate integrity and meeting the challenges that corruption poses to sustainable economic growth and development.
Reviews
Transparency International (TI) publishes this annual report every year, and usually has some in depth chapters on specific countries and corruption in specific industries like energy. If this report doesn't have what you want, go to [...] and search on the earlier or other reports to find what you want. This is the group that publishes an annual Corruption Perception Index report and ranks how 180 countries compare to each other in perceived corruption. This is the study that usually is quoted about Afghanistan or Iraq being in the bottom five of the 180 country rankings. If you are interested in corruption at all, you need to be familier with TI and their publications.
