About the Task Force on Anti-Bribery and Corruption

The BIAC Task Force consists of business experts nominated by BIAC member associations. Since its inception in 1997, the Task Force has been advising and supporting the OECD in matters related to the fight against bribery in an international business context. In particular, BIAC and its members supported the development of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention and assisted in ensuring its implementation including through participation in consultations in the context of OECD country reviews. The BIAC Task Force on Anti-Bribery and Corruption has also been engaged in alerting OECD governments to the on-going problem of bribe solicitation. In 2007-08, the main focus of the BIAC Anti-Bribery Task Force is to contribute business views to the ongoing review of OECD anti-bribery instruments and to design of the future OECD monitoring of the implementation of its Anti-Bribery Convention.
