Transparency International to launch Global Corruption Report 2009: Corruption and the Private Sector

Transparency International (TI), a leading anti-corruption organisation, will launch a wide-ranging review of corrupt practices in the private sector, including bribery and undue influence, corporate fraud and cartels.

These are complemented by 45 in-depth country reports. Best practices and practical recommendations for businesses and governments are also identified.
