An unprecedented wave of laws and regulations, enforcement actions and international cooperation illustrate a global assault on corruption and bribery in the public and private sectors. As the global business model becomes the norm, companies are at increased risk that employees, subcontractors, suppliers or corporate partners will commit unethical, illegal acts, whether intentionally or not. No organization can guarantee ethical, compliant behavior throughout its dispersed enterprise but it can – and must – establish effective programs to prevent, detect and eliminate corruption.
