(a) Engaging the private sector in promoting ratification and implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption

Over the last decade, improving governance and fighting corruption has been seen as a high priority by governments, civil society, the private sector, and the international community.

Many developing countries are investing in their people, promoting democracy and the rule of law, tackling corruption and welcoming the private sector as a partner.

Deeply concerned that serious corruption in the private sector has led to the collapse of many healthy companies, thereby violating the rights of many, and at the high level corruption engendered by some transnational corporations in countries in which they operate,

(f) Ensuring that private enterprises, taking into account their structure and size, have sufficient internal auditing controls to assist in preventing and detecting acts of corruption and that the accounts and required financial statements of such private enterprises are subject to appropriate auditing and certification procedures.

In China, the one party system has been effective in delivering strong growth, but it must now address the rampant corruption and excessive bureaucracy that has crowded out the private sector and limited creativity and innovation.

And I think corruption, and the fight against corruption, and the impact of corruption, is probably one of the most interesting ways to illustrate what I mean with this failure of governance.

(c) Developing a set of specific actions that the private sector can and should take based on the Convention against Corruption that could help operationalize some of its priorities.

Specifically, I ask developing countries to improve their governance, uphold the rule of law, combat corruption and adopt an inclusive approach to development, making space for civil society and the private sector to play their full role.
