Chief compliance officers and chief risk officers have a newly published resource against which to assess corruption risks in the countries where they operate.
The Risk Advisory Group, an independent global risk consultancy firm, in their 2019 Corruption Challenges Index assessed 187 countries, assigning each an overall “corruption challenge” score weighted against three factors: corruption threat, regime instability, and accessibility of information. “As with the 2017 and 2018 surveys, these findings are based on our experience of carrying out in-depth investigations and due diligence around the world during the previous year,” Chris Rowley, head of business intelligence and investigations at the Risk Advisory Group, said in the report.
