We live in a world where global value flows are becoming more complex, with cryptocurrencies playing a significant role in moving funds. From the perspective of banks and other financial institutions, how can we address crypto-related financial crime risks and create thoughtful regulatory policy without hindering innovation?
By Salifu Koray, Chief Revenue Officer, Ghana Revenue Authority
Speaking at the Basel Institute’s International Collective Action Conference on 25–26 June 2024, Salifu Koray explained how the Ghana Revenue Authority was engaging in Collective Action through a World Customs Organization programme. The Anti-Corruption and Integrity Programme aims to restrict corrupt behaviour and promote good governance in customs operations and administration in Ghana and seven other countries.
This USAID-funded CEPPS/IRI/CIPE report outlines contemporary Collective Action approaches against kleptocracy.
The research rests on key interviews and expert analysis and features 7 country-specific case studies: Armenia, Guatemala, Malaysia, Moldova, Romania, Thailand, and Ukraine.
We are proud to launch the world’s first fully interactive Collective Action eLearning course.
The new course is part of our ongoing efforts to build practical skills in using this powerful anti-corruption approach, which brings businesses together with other stakeholders to address shared corruption challenges and raise standards of integrity and fair competition.
Bulgarian citizens need no reminding that corruption causes immense social harm, including limiting a country's ability to fight poverty, negatively affecting economic development, rupturing social values and eroding the fundamental principles of democracy and good governance.
But what do they really think about corruption in their country and the Government’s anti-corruption efforts? It is vital to gather evidence on this in order to better shape government anti-corruption policies and communications going forward.
This report presents the results of a nationwide survey of 1,215 individuals in Bulgaria, conducted from February to early March 2024.
The survey examined how corruption is perceived in Bulgaria by different types of respondent, and what kind of behaviour is considered acceptable. It also looked at respondents’ perceptions of anti-corruption efforts and under which circumstances they would be more likely to report corruption to the authorities.
An entrepreneur and vocal supporter of anti-corruption Collective Action, Norwegian-born Vibeke Lyssand Leirvag has two interesting perspectives: as a small business owner in Thailand and as Chairwoman of the Joint Foreign Chambers of Commerce.
In this short interview on the sidelines of the Basel Institute’s International Collective Action Conference, Vibeke explained how engaging in a Collective Action initiative can help make the voice of business – whether an SME or a Chamber of Commerce – heard in matters of business integrity and fair competition.
Is financial crime really a security threat, as an increasing number of countries and experts now say? If so, in what sense? And what implications might that have for our efforts to fight it?
The issues around framing financial crime as a threat to national and international security were a key topic on the agenda of the first international Summit of the Global Coalition to Fight Financial Crime (GCFFC) in Stockholm, Sweden, on 10–11 September 2024.
The study's purpose is to understand the impact of maritime corruption on low—and middle-income countries. The objectives are twofold: first, to estimate the cost of maritime corruption to the industry, and second, to estimate the cost of maritime corruption to society. Given the wide range of MACN’s activities, Nigeria is selected as the first-case country.
