Six months secondment to work on the overseas corruption assessment project, jointly funded by the UK Government, and supported by the World Bank and the FBI. The project, part of a wider strategy to provide support to UK organisations, was partly in response to the international pressure (such as the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) to raise awareness on the issue of bribery and corruption. It aimed to create a unique pool of information from government, law enforcement, businesses and charities/NGOs. I was involved in the designing of an anonymous web survey to collect intelligence from businesses and designed the schedule of interview questions for confidential interviews. Throughout this project, I engaged with about 200 professionals from third sector organisations, multinationals and FTSE100 companies. I also conducted confidential interviews to identify any bribery and corruption concerns. I took part in the round table consultation process for the UK Bribery Act 2010.
