Introduction
Transparency International has released its Corruption
Perceptions Index 2016. The index assesses how clean or corrupt a
country's public sector is perceived to be.
On 31 January, KordaMentha Forensic hosted the Australian launch
of the index at our offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and
Perth. At those events, an audience of regulators, corporates and
investigators discussed key observations from the 2016 index as
well as practical suggestions for Australia's continued
anti-corruption efforts.
In this article, Katharine Toney, an Associate Director in our
Sydney office, continues the discussion.

The Corruption Perceptions Index is one of Transparency
International's key tools for assessing the nature and scope of
corruption across the globe. Launched every year since 1995, it is
a composite index, using data collected by a variety of reputable
institutions, including the World Bank.
