Combating corruption

Inside view: What do corrupt organizations look like?

The concept of corporate culture -- generally defined as "the way we do things around here" -- isn't a rigid paper process. It's hard to measure, which explains why corporate culture has been largely neglected by regulators and the anti-corruption-consulting industry. Instead, the focus has been on internal compliance programs which respond to risks in the external environment -- "that’s just the way they do business over there" or to the individual characteristics of "rogue employees" -- the bad apples that bring companies down.
