The UK’s Serious Fraud Office has published a list of what it calls “Corruption Indicators” (via The FCPA Blog). On its website, the agency states that “by its nature corruption can be difficult to detect as it usually involves two or more people entering into a secret agreement.” By definition, the secret nature of the agreement makes it difficult for an outsider to the corruption to understand what is going on, but the SFO says that it has identified a number of questionable practices within various sectors, i.e., “corruption indicators” that may be red flags for corrupt practices.
