Drago Kos will discuss the difficulties in controlling corruption in various societies – from the wealthiest to the war-torn, and point at progress that does occur. In addition to various aspects of law enforcement, which is a central theme for the OECD Working Group, he will address the role of the private sector, the importance of risk-mitigation systems, and strategies for managing corruption-related circumstances.
