Fighting foreign bribery — OECD Anti-Bribery Convention

The OECD's work against bribery of foreign public officials, built around the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention.

Our summary

The OECD leads international efforts against bribery in cross-border business. Its Anti-Bribery Convention requires signatory countries to make bribery of foreign public officials a crime, and countries are regularly reviewed on how well they enforce it.

The OECD page brings together the Convention, related recommendations and country monitoring reports.

How auditors use it: to understand the international anti-bribery rules behind local laws, and to assess risk when a business operates or sells across borders.
