Abstract

This chapter focuses on private firms’ compliance with norms concerning transnational bribery. It begins with an overview of the regulatory context and obstacles to effective enforcement of norms against transnational bribery. It then reviews how compliance is defined, how it ought to be defined, and obstacles to the achievement of optimal compliance. Finally, it ends by focusing on the next steps forward in this space: (1) greater information sharing from private firms to outsiders in order to better analyze and evaluate the current efficacy of compliance programs targeting anti-bribery, and (2) increased coordination between enforcement agencies at the national and international levels to better tackle transnational bribery.
