Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper, which is based on author’s study, is to shed light on the behavioral elements of corruption in particular the decision-making process undertaken by potential offenders to construct a solid basis for effective corruption eradication strategy in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach – This study examines corruption cases in Indonesia in the past two years which have been investigated by the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission as well as relevant literature on corruption to gain a better understanding of corruption offenders’ behavior. Findings – The author establishes that by looking at the behavioral side of corruption we may gain more understanding on potential offenders’ way of thinking as a reference in dealing with corruption. The discussions in this paper suggest that when potential offenders are exposed to pressure/motivation, opportunity and rationalization to commit corruption, they will (consciously or subconsciously) assess all the perceived benefits and costs before deciding to commit (or not to commit) corruption. Understanding the mechanics by which potential offenders decide to engage (or not to engage) in corruption will provide government and decision makers with a solid basis for formulating an effective corruption eradication strategy. Research limitations/implications – This study utilizes only secondary data sources to build its analysis on the perceived benefits and costs of engaging in corrupt practices. For future studies, primary sources, such as incarcerated corruption offenders, will offer a more accurate view of the actual decision-making process behind corrupt practices. Practical implications – This paper contributes to the development of effective corruption eradication strategy in Indonesia by introducing the fraud decision scale as a framework by which appropriate measures will be devised so as to yield the intended results. Originality/value – Instead of taking the more popular legal or political standpoint, this paper takes an unconventional view of assessing corruption problem from the behavioral perspective.

Abstract:

This article examines the various forms of potential liability faced by directors in their capacity as such in connection with corrupt practices engaged in by the corporations they serve. Although generally little discussed to date, Canadian directors do face potential civil liability associated with contraventions of the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act that are particular to their status as directors of a corporation. This article thus highlights this particular area of corporate law by reviewing both Canadian jurisprudence and American case law to decipher what lessons Canadian directors can learn in the absence of Canadian precedent similarly on point. Several key cases are highlighted and various risk mitigation strategies available to Canadian directors to guard against these potential liabilities are also discussed.

Abstract:

As Walmart’s business has been changing, the company has also evolved and changed in our corporate governance. In 2012, the company started a significant effort to enhance our ethics and compliance programs. Prior to that time the company maintained separate compliance efforts in different countries. For example, Walmart’s business in the United States had a well-developed compliance program. The company had separate compliance-related activities and personnel in our businesses in Canada, China, Mexico, and elsewhere. All of these compliance programs operated independently of each other, reporting to their local business leaders.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is qualitative research that aims to identify the effect of corruption on HIV/AIDS donor funds in Namibia in order to provide guidelines to policy makers in relations to the regulation of HIV/IDS donor funding. Henceforth, in–depth interviews with open ended questions were used with Government, civil society and donor agencies’ senior officials to obtain data. Additionally, institutional permission was granted from the identified institutions who participated in the research. An inductive analysis was used which required data to be categorised and developing themes from the data. Respondents reported lack of national donor specifications in the field of HIV/AIDS as a serious problem to donor funds in Namibia. However, respondents indicated their organisations had proper management systems in place which included, annual audits, sufficient personnel and monitoring and evaluation. Withdrawal of donor funding has been on the increase due to corrupt practices in some funded organisation and this is mostly affecting people living with HIV/AIDS. Respondent reported there is a need to strengthen the existing umbrella body and improve accountability. The findings of the study show the effect of corruption on HIV/AIDS donor funds in Namibia is the withdrawal of HIV/AIDS donor supports by several donor agencies which has led to numerous donor funded institutions closing down and a number of employee losing their employment. Lack of national HIV/AIDS donor specifications is viewed as a loophole for corruption for many funded organisations as there are no national accountability systems in place in relation to HIV/AIDS donor funds in Namibia.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate corruption and its effects on the development of the construction industry in Malawi. The major causes were identified and probable solutions as well as preventive measures suggested for all stakeholders in the construction industry in Malawi and neighbouring countries to follow in order to combat bribery and corruption. This treatise consisted of a literature review for the causes of bribery, fraud and corruption, effects of corruption on the construction industry, preventive measures, probable solutions to corruption and a descriptive survey involving responses from building and civil engineering contractors, the built environment professionals, home owners, developers, public works officers amongst others from the construction industry in Malawi. According to the literature study, the construction industry is one of the most corrupt industries in the world, which is a huge concern and threat both to governments, investors and humanity at large. This must be addressed by all the official players in the construction industry, from the innovator of a project to the tradesmen employed on that site. The research showed that all players in the construction industry are aware of the impact of corruption on the development of the construction industry in Malawi. Furthermore, there is room for improvement as far as prevention, reduction and elimination of corruption is concerned.

Abstract:

U.S. aerospace companies are estimated to lose more than $25 billion in international contracts per year due to bribery. These losses create Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) compliance strategy challenges for U.S. aerospace companies' management. The purpose of this single case study was to explore strategies that U.S. aerospace small business leaders use to comply with the FCPA. The conceptual framework for this study was the regulatory compliance conceptual model, which suggests that small business leaders must gain deeper insight into how corporate compliance policies address the FCPA requirements. The target population for this study was leaders of a small U.S. aerospace company in California. Data collection included semistructured, face-to-face interviews with 7 business managers and an archival exploration of internal company documents related to FCPA compliance. The data analysis process used thematic analysis, including methodological triangulation, to identify 4 themes: continuous FCPA compliance training, interactive management, compliance with cultural norms, and qualifying opportunities for FCPA compliance. These themes highlighted practical strategies for compliance with the FCPA, which are essential in achieving international business contracts. Small U.S. aerospace businesses must consider these 4 themes when developing corporate compliance directives with the FCPA. Better international business ethics through compliance with the FCPA will facilitate positive social change by reducing corporate operational costs and creating jobs, which improve the quality of life and well-being of people in the local communities.

Abstract:

La lutte contre la corruption est devenue en quelques années un enjeu majeur, priorité affichée de l'agenda des organisations internationales et des grandes économies. Initiée par les États-Unis et matérialisée par la promulgation de leur loi Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) en 1977, la lutte contre la corruption dépasse largement le cadre juridique et s'inscrit dans des rapports de force diplomatique, géopolitique et économique entre plusieurs acteurs. Des instruments de négociation ont été intégrés au droit américain de la lutte contre la corruption et une nouvelle configuration des relations juridiques et économiques transnationales s'est mise en place, à la lumière d'une compétition féroce entre États où les concepts de guerre et d'intelligence économique apparaissent en toile de fond. Concept d'origine anglo-saxonne et issue du droit souple, la compliance a gagné ses lettres de noblesse dans le sillage de la crise financière de 2008 et à la faveur d'un agenda international axé sur la lutte contre la criminalité financière et la corruption. Un nouveau droit de la compliance structure désormais l'organisation de nombreuses entreprises, de part et d'autre de l'Atlantique. Dans ce contexte, l'Union européenne construit une nouvelle architecture dans laquelle la soft law et la compliance s'affirment comme des piliers de plus en plus importants mais fait face à de profondes divergences entre ses États membres
Over the past two decades, the fight against corruption has become a top priority, put high on the agenda of international organizations and large economies. Initiated by the United States and materialized by the promulgation of the law Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in 1977, the fight against corruption goes beyond the legal framework and is illustrated by a balance of powers in the diplomatie, geopolitical and economic aspects between various actors at the international level. Resolution vehicles have been integrated to the settlement of American legal proceedings in the corruption cases and a new configuration of international legal and economic relations has emerged, in light of a strong competition between States where the concept of economic war and business intelligence arises. Anglo-Saxon concept and key element of the soft law, the compliance gained its reputation following the 2008 financial crisis and thanks to an international agenda based on the fight against financial crime and corruption. Compliance rules, law and regulations are from now on embedded in the structure of companie and entities, on both si des of the Atlantic. In this context, the European Union builds a new legal framework where criminal law and compliance are essential pillars, but faces difficulties arisini from different visions from its Member States

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the significance of elections in an ostensibly democratic state, Bangladesh, to portray how electoral corruption has damaged the process of democratic consolidation. It analyses all national elections, as well as a selected few at the local level held in pre-independence and post-independence Bangladesh, focusing upon electoral campaigns, the role and neutrality of the bureaucracy, the Election Commission, the media, the role and activities of political parties and especially the use of rigging, violence, intimidation and other electoral irregularities. Finally, it examines the facilitating role of transparent elections in institutionalising democracy.

Abstract:

AbstractSingapore’s famous anti-corruption agency, the Corrupt Practices Investigations Bureau (CPIB) has been instrumental in rooting out endemic corruption in Singapore within a few decades. It has become a source of inspiration for governments in Asia and beyond. The institutionalization of the CPIB is closely intertwined with Singapore’s success as a nation. It is hard to imagine Singapore’s phenomenal economic growth would have been possible without the work of the CPIB. But how is it possible that this agency has won such extensive powers to fight corruption? This chapter shows that the agency is more than just an organization. It has become an institution. The agency has trumpeted and enforced values like fairness, meritocracy, and the rule of law, guarding them amidst turbulence for more than half a century.

Abstract:

The presented treatment deals with the issue of corruption in the healthcare sector. It points to the peculiarities of this area and the sensitivity of the issue of life and health protection. These factors also determine the often lack of interest in reporting corruption in the healthcare sector, participating in its solution or reporting and cooperating with official state agencies. It is a fact that the protection of life and health in the provision of health care is not the only aspect or looking at corruption in the healthcare sector. Likewise, several relationships that arise in this area are problematic. In a very simple way, corrupt practices are perceived as bribes by perpetrators to doctors and health workers. However, this relationship is not the only one, and although it is a typical model of condemned corruption, there are significantly more relationships in which corrupt practices appear. It is on the one hand the relationship of patients and doctors towards pharmaceutical companies, in connection with drugs and medicines, in connection with receiving patients, treatment and spa treatment, and the like. Although these aspects are not discussed, they form an essential part of the complex of corruption in the healthcare sector, and it is also necessary to take into account these areas when formulating measures aimed at solving corrupt relationships, and preventive and repressive tools for solving corruption in the healthcare sector must also be focused on these areas.

Abstract:

This study delves into the relationship between corruption, government spending, and economic growth in selected Central and Eastern European countries. The high prevalence of corruption and suboptimal allocation of public resources in these countries present a significant obstacle to increasing economic growth. These issues are particularly impactful in low and middle-income countries, where corruption persists longer. The effects of corruption can distort market signals and lead to inefficient allocation of resources, especially in the public sector. In addition to hampering public consumption, corrupt practices negatively impact a country's ability to increase economic growth and bridge the gap between high and low-income countries. By utilising fixed and random effects methods, this paper employs panel regression analysis to examine the impact of government spending and corruption on the economic growth of selected Central and Eastern European countries from 2011 to 2021. The study found that government spending, corruption perception, and control of corruption have a positive and statistically significant influence on economic growth in the selected countries.

Abstract:

A national safety incentive policy is a mix of policy instruments and strategies outlining the rules, templates, and standard procedures for designing and implementing safety incentives within a country. Through a Delphi study, this study assesses critical factors affecting the development of a national safety incentives policy for the construction industry in developing countries using Nigeria as a case study. A qualitative technique was adopted using the Delphi technique to select a representative sample of expert panellists for the study. The Delphi findings indicate fifteen (15) identified factors affecting the development of a national safety incentives policy in Nigeria. Of these fifteen (15) identified factors, six (6) had a very high impact (VHI: 9.00 – 10.00), four (6) had a high impact (HI: 7.00 - 8.99), and the remaining three (3) factors recorded a medium impact (MI: 5.00 - 6.99). The study's key findings reveal that the leading critical factors affecting developing countries, including Nigeria, in developing a national safety incentives policy include weak institutional framework, occupational safety and health agency’s corrupt practices, stakeholders’ absence in policy development, insufficient government budget for occupational safety and health agency, ineffective H&S code of practice, absence of national safety incentive vision, political influence on occupational safety and health enforcement agency, inadequate regulatory framework, ineffective occupational safety and health policy enforcement, and ineffective occupational safety and health policies. This study concluded by calling for a standalone national safety incentive policy that will holistically support the implementation of safety incentives within the construction industry.

Infrastructure development can be identified as a key driver of economic growth. Most developing countries have prioritised implementing new procurement arrangements to execute public infrastructure projects throughout their life cycle efficiently. Private Public Partnership (PPP) procurement arrangement is one of the popular procurement arrangements, which can be classified as solicited proposals (SPs) and unsolicited proposals (USPs). Most countries have adopted USP for infrastructure projects among those two arrangements. Nevertheless, USPs have several drawbacks than SPs, such as corruption, low social and economic benefits, low value for money, and lack of transparency. However, governments are still developing their infrastructure projects as USPs due to the government's motivational aspects towards them. Therefore, it is controversial how those motivations have a huge impact than drawbacks in implementing USPs. Thus, this study aims to investigate the motivation for implementing USPs specific to the Sri Lankan context. Accordingly, a qualitatively based extensive literature synthesis has been conducted concerning the practices of USPs. Following the qualitative approach, data were collected through twelve (12) semi-structured interviews with industry professionals familiar with USPs implementation. The findings revealed that governments often choose USPs due to limitations in their capacity to identify and evaluate large-scale projects. These limitations can be financial and technical, including a lack of expertise. While speculation exists about corrupt practices associated with unsolicited PPPs, it is difficult to validate such claims. However, it is acknowledged that unsolicited PPPs, in their current state, offer higher opportunities for corruption. Nonetheless, accessing private financing quickly and efficiently for PPPs is also a positive motivation for choosing the unsolicited approach.

Abstract:

The degree of enforcement of political accountability at all levels of government affects the level of corruption. Active civil society shaping public opinion puts pressure on politicians to act responsibly and thus reduces the risk of corrupt practices. Increasing political responsibility at the municipal level is possible through the operation of non-governmental organizations as subjects / actors of municipal policy. The aim of the study is to point out the possibilities of solving the problem of corruption at the local level through the activities of anti-anticorruption NGOs as subjects of municipal policy. The research issue is anticorruption NGOs activities in corruption problem solving at the local level government. The research subject is NGO Against Corruption. The key methods of scientific research are the methods of classification analysis, comparison and abstraction in the creation of a theoretical and methodological framework for solving the problem; methods of causal analysis in the application part of the study and methods of synthesis and partial induction in drawing conclusions. Secondary data collection will take place through a constructive method and their processing and evaluation through the case study method. The methods applied to the civic association Against Corruption will be effective in mapping their complex activities and activities at the municipal level.

Abstract:

Corruption as a phenomenon today is one of the most serious threats to the rule of law. It means that instead of the rule of law and its norms, individuals are governed, guided by lucrative goals and in accordance with their interests. It is a form of government dominated by self-love and self-government as a manifest form, followed by a reference to (often business) interests. Furthermore, it is a social situation and practice that adversely affects overall social development, slows down economic processes, deteriorates social security and undermines perceptions and beliefs about the value of principles, in particular the principles of legality, equality, and freedom. Corruption poses is a serious threat to democracy, justice and human rights, justice and social justice and impedes the economic development of states. Corruption runs counter to the principle of the rule of law and poses a direct threat to democratic institutions and the moral foundations of society. There are various forms of corruption, such as: political corruption, corruption in the judiciary, health, police, education and so on. One of the less researched forms of corruption is corruption in education with a particular aspect of higher education, a form of which is little talked about and the under-researched types of corrupt practices in higher education. From this point of view, the Faculty of Security conducted a five-year research on “Public opinion of the citizens of the Republic of Macedonia on corruption where a significant space is devoted to corruption in education with 158 emphasis on the university education. The paper also provides an analysis of the Erasmus court case, which specifically addresses corruption in university education. Key words: corruption, shapes, corruption in university education, types

Abstract:

This paper contributes to the debate around why and how access to information can be used to prevent and control corruption. Access to information can not only bring corruption cases to light, it can also be a fundamental tool for its prevention and control, given that it encourages the creation of channels of participation and helps to identify vulnerabilities in both the public and the private sectors that might become windows of opportunity for corrupt practices. The paper`s conceptual framework explains how initiatives aimed at promoting access to information that are based on the concept of targeted transparency enable greater accountability in key areas of public management, by taking into consideration the effectiveness and quality of access to information channels or mechanisms, as well as the capacities and interests of the users to gain access to and use this information.

Abstract:

This paper explores, both formally and empirically, the political accountability mechanisms that lie behind the varying levels of public corruption and of effective governance taking place across nations. The first section develops a principal-agent model in which good governance is a function of the extent to which citizens can hold political officials accountable for their actions. Although policy-makers may have strong incentives to appropriate parts of the citizens' income, well-designed institutions (those increasing both informational flows and elite competitiveness) boost political accountability and reduce the space left for the appropriation of rents. The following sections of the paper test the model. The presence of democratic mechanisms of control and an increasingly informed electorate, measured through the frequency of newspaper readership, explain considerably well the distribution of corrupt practices and governmental ineffectiveness in three types of data sets: a large cross-section of countries in the late 1990s for which an extensive battery of governance indicators has been recently developed by Kaufmann et al. (1999a); a panel data set for the period 1980-95 and about 100 nations on corruption and bureaucratic quality based on experts' rankings; and corruption data for the cross-section of US states in the period 1977-95.

Abstract:

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) consistently scores in the lowest rungs of global indexes on corruption, integrity and wider governance standards. Indeed, corruption of different sorts pervades public and corporate life, with strong ramifications for human development. Although the DRC is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of natural resources, its people are among the globe’s poorest.Corruption in the extractive industries (minerals and oil) is particularly problematic in terms of scale and its centrality to a political economy that maintains elites and preserves the highly inequitable outcomes for the majority. The politico-economic elites of the DRC, such as former President Joseph Kabila, are reportedly significant perpetrators but multinationals seeking valuable minerals or offering financial services are also allegedly deeply involved. Corruption is therefore a problem with national and international roots.Despite national and international initiatives, levels of corruption have proven very stubborn for at least the last 20 years, for various reasons. It is a structural and not just a legal issue. It is deeply entrenched in the country’s political economy and is driven both by domestic clientelism and the fact that multinationals buy into corrupt deals. This rapid review therefore seeks to find out the Corruption challenges and responses in the Democratic Republic of Congo.Grand level corruption shades down into the meso-level, where for instance, mineral laden trucks are systematically under-weighted with the collusion of state officials. With severe shortfalls in public funding, certain public services, such as education, are supported by informal payments. Other instances of petty corruption facilitate daily access to goods and services. At this level, there are arguments against counting such practices as forms of corruption and instead as necessary survival practices.To address the challenge of corruption, the DRC is equipped with a legal system that is of mixed strengths and an institutional arsenal that has made limited progress. International programming in integrity and anti-corruption represents a significant proportion of support to the DRC but much less than humanitarian and governance sectors. The leading international partners in this regard are the EU, US, UNDP, UK, African Development Bank, Germany and Sweden. These partners conduct integrity programming in general governance issues, as well as in the mineral and forest sectors.The sources used in this rapid review are gender blind and converge on a very negative picture The literature ranges from the academic and practitioner to the journalistic and investigative, and taken as a whole, is of good quality, drawing on different types of evidence including perceptions and qualitative in-country research. The sources are mostly in English with two in French.

Abstract:

The United Nations Report on Military Expenditures (UNMILEX) is a reporting Instrument established by the UN General Assembly. Each year all UN member states can voluntarily provide data on their military expenditures to enhance multilateral transparency in military matters. In recent years less than 50 states on average per year have participated in the instrument. However, most states release public information on their military spending at the national level, which could directly support submissions for UNMILEX. To assist the revival of the instrument and to contribute to transparency in military affairs, this guide aims to support officials in preparing their country’s annual submission for UNMILEX. It provides step-by step advice and concrete examples on how to use the information readily available in public government budget documents to fill in UNMILEX submissions. It discusses the definition of ‘military expenditure’ for UNMILEX purposes, shows where to find budget documents and explains whether to report on actual or planned expenditures. Most importantly, the guide gives instructions on how to transcribe data from national budget documents to the correct UNMILEX form. The focus is on making participation easy by using the simplified or single-figure form.

Abstract:

The article a study of the standard aspect of vocabulary usage in modern Ukrainian newspaper publications. Based on the analysis of the reference literature, the article examines the cases of conjugation of the noun quantity with the verbs to increase and to grow, as well as to decrease, to lower, to shrink, to fall in the publications of the newspaper «Den’». This newspaper is one of the most popular publications in the rating of national media. There are a lot of doubts about the proper usage of these linguistic expressions in the editorial work. The research is predetermined by the need to establish word meanings (based on the editorial practice), which is not specifically delineated in the reference literature, and to give variants of their proper usage. It is accented that the noun quantity should be used with the verbs to increase/decrease. It is noted that to indicate the amount of someone or something, the word quantity should be written, not a number. The selected examples (about 40 sentence constructions) are given the correct answers. Linguistic literacy of an individual as well as of a society in general and opinion expression depends on the selection of linguistic expressions by journalists, since linguistic mistakes in periodical newspapers, radio or TV tend to spread through the language and are required subconsciously. It is emphasized that the accuracy of word usage depends on the availability, aesthetic impact and effectiveness of newspaper publications. Keywords: incorrect/correct usage, conjugation, dictionaries, editorial practice, newspaper publications.

Abstract:

The article provides a study of the standard aspect of vocabulary usage in Ukrainian newspaper publications. The language quality in newspaper publications is an important and topical problem. The paper puts special emphasis on the language of the media which needs to be normative. The research is predetermined by the need to establish word meanings (based on the editorial practice), which is not specifically delineated in the reference literature, and to give variants of their proper usage. It is emphasized that the accuracy of word usage depends on the availability, aesthetic impact and effectiveness of newspaper publications. The research analyses proper usage of linguistic expressions in different publications of «DEN’», «DZERKALO TYZHNYA», «EXPRESS» newspapers, particularly the usage of nouns TENSION (napruha), DIFFERENCE (riznytsia), NUMBER (chyslo). Meanings of all these words are not explicitly delineated in the reference literature. There are a lot of doubts about the proper usage of these linguistic expressions in the editorial work. Certain Recommendations regarding the correct usage of researchable forms have been suggested. The analysis of defining dictionaries, translation dictionaries, thesaurus as well as other reference books, is based on the acquired editorial experience, that enables to define the meaning of the lexems TENSION (napruha), DIFFERENCE (riznytsia), NUMBER (chyslo) under the study and to suggest correct compliant forms to the selected examples of their usage in the publications of «DEN’», «DZERKALO TYZHNYA», «EXPRESS» newspapers (over 70 sentence constructions).

Abstract:

Electronic educational resourc was created for independent work of 5th year students of the pediatric faculty in the study of the discipline "Hospital Surgery". The possibility of control by the teacher is provided. This EER includes an introductory module, a topic module, and a quality assessment module. The structure of each topic in the EER (there are 19 topics in total) consists of the following sections: educational and methodological tasks on the topic, abstract of the topic, control tests on the topic, clinical situational tasks on the topic and a list of references. The section "Summary of the topic" at the moment can be presented in the form of a text file, or a presentation, or a video lecture, or a monograph by the staff of the department, etc. This section is gradually updated with new materials. The section "Control tests on the topic" is designed to control the teacher for the independent work of students and contains 15 tests, the solution of which is given 10 minutes and two attempts, a passing result for crediting 71% of correct answers. The section "Clinical situational tasks" serves for self-control of the student in mastering the topic - if he understood the content of the task, made a preliminary diagnosis and knows the tactics of managing the patient, the topic is mastered. There are ten clinical situational tasks for each topic, students receive different versions of tasks. In addition, the EER has a "Final test control" section, which contains test tasks from all topics of practical classes. The program randomly generates a final test of 30 tasks, 20 minutes are allotted for solving, the student has the right to two attempts. More than 71% of correct answers are counted.
