Home to some of the world’s richest and poorest countries, the average score for ASEAN member states in Transparency International’s 2014 Corruption Perceptions Index is a meagre 38 out of 100. Governments, international organisations and civil society therefore advocate for the creation of an ASEAN Integrity Community, complementary to regional economic harmonisation efforts with tighter anti-corruption collaboration and joint enforcement.

ALB’s South East Asia Anti-Corruption Forum connects policy-makers and playmakers behind these initiatives with senior representatives of the private sector, translating high-level (inter-)governmental frameworks into practical operational, business, compliance and training strategies for corporations.
