Efforts to punish corporate crime by countries around the world will be evaluated in a new report to be published by anti-corruption group Transparency International on 6 September 2012, at 03.00 AM GMT.

Transparency International’s annual report on enforcement of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, “*Exporting Corruption? Country Enforcement of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. Progress Report 2012*”, grades 37 countries according to the number of cases against companies for bribing foreign officials that have been investigated and prosecuted.

Factsheets assessing the enforcement action of a dozen OECD countries, including the US, UK, France, Canada, Spain, Greece and Brazil, will also be made available on 6 September.

Interviews may be arranged with both global and regional experts.
