A Look at Corruption Risks in the ECA Region

Risk Management

In this article, Ann Sultan reviewed the key findings of Miller & Chevalier's 2018 Europe-Caucasus-Asia (ECA) Corruption Survey, which compared the corruption levels and anti-corruption compliance across countries located in the ECA region. "Survey respondents painted a nuanced picture of corruption across the countries surveyed, providing useful data for risk and compliance professionals. Many companies doing business in the region are already taking certain affirmative steps to improve their risk mitigation and compliance strategies based on their specific circumstances. But there remains significant room for improvement, specifically by recognizing the differences among countries in the region and by targeting business-specific risks in compliance measures," Sultan wrote.
