TIME PRESSURE DRIVES THE CORRUPTION RISK
Successful prevention of corruption relay entirely on time – we need a head start to prevent any crisis to materialize.
A common reflex on top management level is to see the proactive anti-corruption work as IMPORTANT, but not as URGENT – “it can wait - we have so many other urgent issues on the table, and we haven’t got any corruption problems, do we?”. This lacking sense of urgency is a severe threat to the company. Once a corruption issue arises, the time for proactive work is gone – instead we are forced into reactive crisis management with all sorts of values at stake.
Unless you’re absolutely sure that your anti-corruption program is 100% waterproof, don’t wait - find out now!
