    ETHICS AND CORRUPTION

    ETHICS AND CORRUPTION

     Corruption is a form of dishonest or unethical conduct by a person


    entrusted with a position of authority, often to acquire personal benefit.

     Transparency International defines corruption as “The misuse of entrusted


    power for private gain”

     Oxford dictionary define corruption as “prevention or destruction of


    integrity in the discharge of public duties by bribery or favor”.
    TYPES OF CORRUPTION
     Systematic Corruption – the fraud begins at the top and it extends through
    most of the hierarchy.
    TYPES OF CORRUPTION
     Sporadic/Individual Corruption – it occurs irregularly and therefore it does not
    threaten the mechanisms of control nor the
    economy as such.

     Petty Corruption – include exchange of small gifts or use of personal connections


    TYPES OF CORRUPTION
     Political/Grand Corruption – corruption occurring at the highest level of government
    or enabling leaders to benefit at the expense of the
    public good. (e.g. payoffs and bribes, graft & embezzlement,
    blackmail & extortion; and preferential treatment)
    COSTS OF CORRUPTION: 5 MAIN
    CATEGORIES

     Political – corruption is a major obstacle to democracy and the rule of law.

     Democratic – it is extremely challenging to develop accountable political


    leadership in a corrupt climate.

     Economic – corruption depletes national wealth.

     Society – undermines people’s trust in the political system.

     Environment – precious natural resources are carelessly exploited.


    PREVENTING CORRUPTION
     Establish countermeasures to address governance issues – such as improving
    human rights, and attacking poverty.

     Understand what corruption levels mean about governments – i.e., higher levels
    of corruption indicate less efficiency and reliability.

     Prioritize anti-corruption programs in international operations – the effectiveness


    of anti-corruption programs in global business organizations is a measure of their
    commitment to other ethical outcomes.
    PREVENTING CORRUPTION
     Promote Transparency and Access to Information

     Establish independent bodies – an international system for returning the funds


    derived from corruption is important.

     Establish Comprehensive Public Sector Integrity Policy – procedures should be


    designed in a manner that reduces opportunities for corruption and creates
    incentives for public integrity.
    CONCLUSION
    The important issue for an agency operating in a corrupt environment is
    whether to participate actively, quietly refuse to deal or report corruption
    to local authorities and to those in the outside world. Keeping quiet is
    probably the worst option. The agency not only loses business; it also has
    done nothing to change the underlying situation for the better. The
    advantage of the current interest and concern with corruption is that
    reporting corrupt demands can lead to international embarrassment for
    the corrupt officials that may, in turn, produce reforms.
    Remember, it is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than
    our abilities.
