• Description: http://www.oecd.org/daf/anti-bribery/oecd-business-integrity-roundtable.htm
The adoption and enforcement of national anti-corruption laws, such as the US FCPA, UK Anti-Bribery Act, France’s Sapin II, assisted by the ongoing implementation of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention through monitoring by the OECD Working Group on Bribery, was a key driving force for the rapid growth of anti-corruption compliance systems in companies within OECD jurisdictions and beyond. Some governments also supplemented enforcement by other efforts, such as codifying rules on compliance, creating reporting channels and remedies, as well as administrative reforms to simplify interactions with officials. Business integrity standards are evolving rapidly as a part of broader standards on responsible business conduct and beneficial ownership, with some of them are becoming mandatory. But many governments around the world have not developed clear policies on business integrity, for instance, by ensuring strong enforcement or providing incentives. Even in those countries, compliance by companies is also growing in response to market signals, such as due diligence and supply chain responsibility, and the private sector is demanding more integrity from the governments.
