The Report updates the 2010 findings rating 44 companies on the public availability of information on their anti-corruption programmes and how they report their financial results in all the countries where they operate. The main idea is that by disclosing anti-corruption measures and key organisational and financial data, especially on a country-by-country level, companies demonstrate their commitment to stop the misappropriation of revenues.
