  • Public disclosure of:
    • Anti-corruption programme;
    • Company holdings (organisational transparency);
    • Country-by-country financial reporting;
  • Good governance with appropriate board oversight;
  • Executive leadership committed to pursuing anti-corruption business agenda: tone from the top;
  • Policies and procedures in place including appropriate anti-bribery checklist /ethics and compliance / procurement processes;
  • Internal communication mechanisms to employees about anti-corruption standards; includes training programmes for employees around compliance;
  • Fair employment practices;
  • Channel for reporting corruption / irregularities;
  • Swift measures against those found engaging in corrupt activities – enforcement.

If you and your company subscribe to the above checklist we would like to invite you to support the work of Corruption Watch. This would serve to demonstrate that your commitment to fighting corruption extends beyond getting your own house in order.
