The Corruption Challenges Index is derived from a survey of around 20 due diligence experts from Risk Advisory’s six regional business intelligence teams, conducted in Q4 2016. The survey asked our analysts a series of questions about:

Introducing The Risk Advisory Group’s
Corruption Challenges Index
The Corruption Challenges Index ranks 181 countries using a number of measures, including:
- the local threat of corruption
- how exposed foreign investors are to corruption itself as well as to FCPA enforcement action
- the availability of reliable information to conduct integrity due diligence and mitigate the risk of dealing with corrupt parties
The rankings reflect the expert judgement of Risk Advisory’s analysts and their experience of helping organisations investigate and do business in those markets.
Industry sectors are also ranked, with construction and development, infrastructure, oil and gas emerging as the most challenging from a corruption point of view.
Bill Waite, Group Chief Executive Officer of The Risk Advisory Group said, “High levels of corruption risk need not preclude a market from a company’s expansion plans for 2017. And indeed in certain industries the riskiest countries are often the most rewarding."
