Journal article: Anti-corruption Initiative for Asia Pacific

Writer: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development

The Self-Evaluation Tool for Businesses does not imply that the methods for assessing
corruption risk are certified. It also does not certify that a corporation complies with any
applicable national legal obligations. The instrument is also unaffected by the views of OECD
members and other members of the OECD Bribery Working Group.

With reference to the article, The OECD South East Asia Anti-Corruption and Business Integrity
(SEACAB) Project1 has been running since 2018, with the goal of promoting business integrity
in the area, especially through increasing firms' knowledge of and capacity to reduce corruption
risks. The project is being carried out in partnership with major regional partners and
programmes. Regional thematic workshops and collective action events, capacity building,
regional studies on anticorruption trends, and corruption risk assessments are among the
activities carried out under the aegis of the SEACAB Project.

The article claims that this final output, dubbed "Self-Evaluation Tool for Corruption Risk
Assessment Processes," is an interactive tool aimed towards small and medium-sized firms
(SMEs) 2 in Southeast Asia and other parts of the world. This method was chosen to aid
organizations in conducting corruption risk assessments throughout MNE supply chains.

This tool is designed in such a way that it accounts for the diversity of SMEs, which may differ
significantly in their characteristics, and that the proposed tool is of sufficient length and
complexity that it does not necessitate a significant amount of time and human resources, which
is critical for SMEs. As a result, this is not a thorough tool; rather, it is meant to be short and
concise, with a list of sources of information that SMEs may utilize to enhance their corruption
risk assessments based on their score at the conclusion of the questionnaire.

This Self-Evaluation Tool for Corruption Risk Assessment Processes is based on major issues
contained in national and international corruption risk standards, according to the article. It may
be used by SMEs to identify areas where existing corruption risk assessment processes should
be improved.
