The scourges of extortion, bribery and other forms of corruption have been thrown into sharp relief during the last several years.
Accounting scandals, terrorist finance and money laundering, conflicts of interest at investment banks - all have had a severe impact on consumer confidence, shareholder interests and market values. As a result, issues of corporate governance and business ethics have moved from the periphery of corporate concerns to the front and centre.

Fighting Corruption, a revised and expanded version of ICC's 1999 widely acclaimed Fighting Bribery, takes account of these changes and is aimed specifically at corporate managers.

With the implementation of the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions, and with new laws and regulations such as the USA Patriot Act affecting business worldwide, corporate officials are confronted with a bewildering range of new ethical requirements. By suggesting concrete steps as to how companies should respond. Fighting Corruption provides the practical tools to deal with the changing business environment.

The present edition not only updates the 1999 edition, but contains four entirely new chapters - on whistleblowers, Customs corruption, small and medium-sized enterprises and preventing extortion.

Fighting Corruption will be the reference book of choice for lawyers, compliance officers and all other corporate personnel charged with responding to the new regulatory environment.
