The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has issued new guidance on internal controls, ethics, and compliance to help its member countries implement anti-bribery strategies.

The OECD Working Group on Bribery has issued “Good Practice Guidance on Internal Controls, Ethics, and Compliance,” which calls for companies in the 38 countries that are party to the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention to put in place strict internal controls and establish ethics and compliance programs as part of a strategy to combat bribery in international business deals.
