Corporations wishing to examine their current anti-corruption policies may want to review the latest issue of Management Ethics, produced by the Canadian Centre for Ethics and Corporate Policy. The cover story reminds readers that “bribing foreign public officials in order to obtain or retain an advantage in the course of business was made a criminal offence on February 14, 1999″.

Further resources on the subject can be found on the Centre’s website as well as the website for Transparency International which provides ratings on corruption levels in various countries.
