About the Book: International Corruption

The new edition of International Corruption helps you understand the laws surrounding anti-corruption, what it intends to prevent and how it impacts you. It explores the legislation from all angles so you are clear of what can and cannot be done.

This book describes and analyses anti-corruption Laws and treaties in a number of key jurisdictions. The book also provides perspectives on how to investigate suspected corrupt payments, how to deal with regulators in a corruption enquiry and, perhaps more importantly, how to design effective compliance programmes that minimises the risk of bribery in the first place.

What was once a moral principle-it is wrong to bribe corrupt foreign official to win or keep business abroad-has become a legal imperative.

Lawyers, compliance officers, accountants, auditors and academics alike will find this book useful.
