Information about fees and unit costs
Countries worldwide are under increasing pressure to take effective steps, both individually and collectively, to tackle corruption and recover the proceeds of corruption. Australia is no exception. International efforts to address the problem culminated with the coming into force in December 2005 of the UN Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC). This the first global instrument designed to tackle corruption in both the private and public sectors and it builds on a number of regional anti-corruption initiatives, including the Asia Development Bank/OECD Anti-Corruption Initiative for Asia-Pacific. In addition the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has been active within the setting of tackling corruption in international business, particularly through the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions (OECD Convention). Australia is a party to both Conventions.
