Most defense companies still show little evidence of having ethics and anti-corruption programs in place, according to a recent report from Transparency International (TI). However, more are addressing the risk of corruption than three years ago, when TI published its first Defence Companies Anti-Corruption Index. The second such report from the multinational pressure group assessed 163 defense companies from 47 countries, using publicly available information. Sixty-three of the companies also provided internal information to TI for the new report.
