Description

Recent events such as the phone hacking controversy, MPs expenses scandal, and allegations of fraud in Edinburgh City Council have highlighted the fact that Scotland, and the rest of the UK, is not immune to corruption.
    
Transparency International UK recently published a report which examined the level of corruption in 23 sectors and institutions. 
     
TI-UK is hosting this event in Edinburgh to present the findings of the report and discuss what can be done to tackle corruption in Scotland and beyond. The evening will consist of a drinks reception, presentation, and Q&A discussion.

Corruption in the UK report
The 3-volume report – the most extensive study into UK corruption ever undertaken - examines 23 sectors and concludes that key institutions are refusing to confront the problem. Of particular concern are prisons, political parties, parliament and sport where the response to the increasing corruption risk is often incoherent and uncoordinated.
      
Speakers
Professor Michael Macaulay is the author of the Corruption in the UK report
Chandu Krishnan, Executive Director of Transparency International UK, will chair the event.
