Corruption: The New Corporate Challenge
Every company, large or small, is faced with the threat of corruption and bribery. Where these risks are realised, the institution is undermined, it's viability potentially fatally flawed, and the people connected with it threatened. Today's company managers are taking this danger ever more seriously. Corruption, Nick Kochan's new book, explores the risks, gives detailed examination of remedies and responses, and provides unique insight into law enforcement's thinking and practices in dealing with suspected events.

Corruption is invariably a cross-border risk, and the new book examines legislation from many countries including the new UK Bribery Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and legislation in Russia, China, and Spain. It also looks at jurisdictions that present greatest corruption risks to companies.

Finally the book carries many invaluable case studies of prosecutions in the British and American jurisdictions. This is an up to date handbook to bribery and corruption that no corporate manager, no interested lawyer, and no NGO can be without.
