Corruption is not a peripheral social concern that corporations can ignore or passively address -- it is a bottom-line issue that directly affects companies' ability to compete. Widespread in emerging markets, corruption is becoming an increasingly important issue for business to address. Furthermore, it inflicts enduring harm on disadvantaged populations by diverting resources for critical services like education, clean water and health care into the pockets of dishonest public officials.
This white paper presents a critical assessment of corporate anti-corruption efforts in the developing world and offers a guide for corporations to move beyond traditional ethics and compliance activities to strategic anti-corruption efforts. Sponsored by The Merck Company Foundation and developed in collaboration with the Ethics Resource Center, the paper reveals opportunities for corporations to engage in more comprehensive and effective anti-corruption reform as a business imperative.

Corruption vs Economy
Posted by: MosesT on Fri, 26 Jun 09 04:56:49 +0000
Corruption is always a reason why we suffer from too much economy recession. It affects our state monetary system resulting to poverty and economy downturns. That is why many of us want a little instant cash every now and again? It's not as if you can just make instant cash appear and be able to spend it – although the government does! The rest of us have to have some sort if income and, when we fall short on it due to a sudden expense that no one could see coming, that's when we have to look for another option. Try out payday lenders or going to a bank, although banks won't give anyone credit unless they're so wealthy that they don't need it. If you need a little buffer fund, you could get a payday loan for your instant cash advance needs.
