The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has launched a practical guide for public organizations on how to conduct corruption risk assessments to identify, mitigate and prevent corruption vulnerabilities in their operations. The goal of a corruption risk assessment is to identify a realistic set of potential risks, determine which should be prioritized and develop and implement efficient, cost-effective mitigation strategies. Organizations are encouraged to use the methodology on a continuous basis to determine any new or outstanding risks, assess whether the measures introduced are effective and decide whether any new measures should be introduced. This process will strengthen an organization’s ability to minimize corruption risks and prevent corruption schemes from occurring.
