Description
The Compendium of Anti-Corruption Prevention Systems for Public Sector and Law Enforcement Agencies provides a comprehensive review of integrity frameworks and compliance programs across APEC economies. Drawing on surveys, desk research, and expert workshops, it analyzes how public institutions and law enforcement agencies design and implement anti-corruption measures. The document highlights widespread adoption of codes of conduct, whistleblower channels, conflict-of-interest policies, and ethics training, while noting persistent challenges such as weak enforcement, limited resources, and underdeveloped risk management. It reviews international standards (UNCAC, OECD, ISO), best practices, and case studies from member economies. The Compendium concludes with recommendations to strengthen preventive mechanisms, ensure compliance independence, expand risk management, and foster collaboration with external stakeholders to reinforce public trust and institutional integrity.
