THE PRACTITIONER’S VIEWPOINT EMPLOYEES FACING CORRUPTION: A PERSONAL REFLECTION By Richard T. Bistrong*
In the February 2014 issue of Business Compliance, we dedicated the issue to “those who suffer the consequences of bad decisions,” emphasizing that it is time to focus on “the consequences of our actions, and of the circumstances in which we take them.” The double issue featured the concluding parts of an article in two parts by Esther Pieterse and Sven Biermann entitled Employees Facing Corruption.1 As someone who suffered those consequences, through fourteen and a half months in Federal Prison on a foreign bribery conspiracy charge, Richard Bistrong evaluates and compares his own experience and conduct with academic theory and asks if are there lessons learnt that might be shared with those at the front lines of international business? Using the Pieterse and Biermann Generic Decision Making Model as a companion to his own business conduct, Richard outlines a “way forward” for corporations and prompts further discussion, actionable “to-dos”, and perhaps to inspire internal research with respect to anti-bribery compliance, which is the focus of this article. In his own words: “As I do not see my own story as entirely unique, I hope this commentary, in detailing my own experience, might assist organizations by elevating topics that are not often discussed, or even acknowledged by some corporate executives.”
