Compliance programs globally expect to shoulder more responsibilities in 2022 in response to stagnating enforcement efforts, according to the latest annual survey.

Kroll’s 2022 Anti-Bribery and Corruption (ABC) Benchmarking Report surveyed 700 risk professionals, including 50 representatives each from a list of 14 countries and territories. Respondents were asked for details about their compliance programs; views of the ABC regulatory environment; if and how they incorporated environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives compared to 2021; and new for this year, their use of crypto and blockchain.
