E-book Sector Based Action Against Corruption : A Guide for Organisations and Professionals
This book is for professional people working in organisations and institu-tions who need to acquire competence in recognising, analysing and deal-ing with corruption issues. It is action-oriented, enabling the reader to know better how to limit the effects of such corruption on their organisa-tion’s functioning and outputs, thereby improving performance, and to build their confidence that many corruption-related problems can indeed be addressed.They—you—may be engineers, administrators, politicians, heads of marketing or sales or supplies, finance managers, department heads or division management teams. They may work in either the public sector or the private sector, or one of the many hybrids of the two, like joint ven-tures or public-private partnerships. They may be employees, directors, board members, external consultants, or representatives of organisations or communities. What they all have in common is that their primary responsibility is to deliver results. Those results might be tangible, like sales or units of production, or they may be less tangible, like policies or new laws from a ministry, or the safe monitoring of processes and prog-ress, or overseeing strategy implementation in the organisation or division. These people are all in a position of some responsibility within their insti-tution or sector, a responsibility that may be on a large scale—regional, national or international—or on a small scale, such as leadership of a department within a single organisation.Such professional people may well have signed up to ethical obliga-tions, to act with integrity, such as codes of conduct within the working environment, or clauses in employment contracts, or in major contracts with customers and partners, or the ethical requirements that come with belonging to a particular profession. These codes may have included implicit or even explicit obligations to act against corruption. But these obligations usually sit in the background, rarely seen as forming a core part of the job.
