5) You can stop corrupt practices in your organization.
Corruption is spreading around the world, despite many efforts:
- World institutions mount massive campaigns to halt corruption through

exams, and even teachers favoring the rich kid in school.

4) Corrupt practices account for almost half of profit improvement opportunities.
In 30 years of management consulting, our experience is that almost half of profit
improvement opportunities were found to deal with internal or external corrupt
practices. These savings were often greater than those from improved Sales
and Marketing, cost reduction, or working capital allocation. A much larger share
of profit recovery stems from stopping corruption.
