Corruption often flourishes in times of uncertainty and crisis. When institutions and oversight are weak, and public trust low, corruption can thrive and undermine how societies respond to the crisis. Covid-19 brought this issue into sharp focus, and this book uncovers some of the problems experienced across the globe and, crucially, explains how organizations and countries can strengthen their anti-corruption systems to prevent problems in the future.

The book has been created by the members of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education group on anti-corruption and brings together top international experts to consolidate the lessons from the Covid-19 crisis in order to improve transparency, integrity, trust, and governance in the future. Cybersecurity and cybercrime related to the pandemic are a particular focus. These factors are essential to social and economic order. Practice-oriented, each chapter offers examples of methods, approaches, tools, and cases which can be used for anti-corruption teaching, policy, and corporate initiatives.

With insights and cases from right across the globe, the book will be of interest to NGOs, policymakers, organizational leaders, students, and researchers looking to foster accountability, integrity, and transparency across organizations in times of crisis.

«Compliance» gilt heute als Grundvoraussetzung für die «license to operate» und ist daher für Organisationen eine kritische Managementfunktion mit einer hoher Ressourcenbindung. Zahlreiche Unternehmensskandale in Zusammenhang mit Compliance-Verstössen lassen vermuten, dass Unternehmen nicht immer in der Lage sind, das unternehmensweite Compliance-risikoadäquat zu managen. Dies liegt u.a. daran, dass es bisher kein etabliertes Verfahren zur Quantifizierung des Erfolgs der Compliance gibt. Daraus folgt ein Legitimationsproblem für die verantwortlichen Führungskräfte, da die (hohen) Compliance-Ausgaben nur schwierig zu rechtfertigen sind. Das vorliegende Buch adressiert diese Herausforderung und zeigt auf, wie der Erfolg und der Wertbeitrag der Compliance in mittelständischen und grossen Unternehmen optimiert werden kann. Dazu wurde ein wissenschaftlich fundiertes Compliance-Modell entwickelt, das den Zusammenhang zwischen erfolgreicher Compliance und dem Unternehmenserfolg nachweisen kann, was einem «Paradigmenwechsel im Umgang mit Compliance» gleichkommt. Compliance darf nicht länger als Kostenfaktor, sondern als nachweisbar mehrwertstiftendes Führungsinstrument verstanden werden.

"Compliance" is now considered a fundamental prerequisite for the "license to operate" and is therefore a critical management function for organizations, requiring significant resource commitment. Numerous corporate scandals related to compliance violations suggest that companies are not always able to manage enterprise-wide compliance risks appropriately. This is partly due to the lack of an established method for quantifying the success of compliance efforts. As a result, a legitimacy problem arises for the responsible executives, as the (high) compliance expenditures are difficult to justify. This book addresses this challenge and demonstrates how the success and value contribution of compliance can be optimized in medium-sized and large companies. To this end, a scientifically grounded compliance model has been developed, which can demonstrate the connection between successful compliance and corporate success, representing a "paradigm shift in the approach to compliance." Compliance must no longer be seen as a cost factor but as a verifiably value-creating leadership tool.
