Transparency International Defence and Security Program Vulnerability to Corruption Assessment Training Session 1.2 Intro to Vulnerability to Corruption Assessment By Donald Bowser January 27, 2017

Vulnerability to Corruption Assessments The Vulnerability to Corruption Assessment (VCA) considered “Corruption Prevention 3.0” or a third generation of corruption risk assessment. It identifies where weaknesses exist within specific institutions i.e. and sectors that allow corruption to occur. It is a qualitative methodology. Uses semi-structured interviews of practitioners who know the institutions/sectors best and who have long-term experience and first hand knowledge of the area to be examined. Only requires small numbers (20-30) of interviewees if they have the required knowledge of how things ‘really’ work.

Why Sector Assessments? Institutional-based assessments like National Integrity System are useful tools in comparing countries or overall level of governance. Are insufficient as an instrument that can be used operationally to mitigate specific opportunities for corruption or to rank levels of risk within sectors.  Sectorial/instituional methods allow a more focused approach on reforms. Vulnerability to corruption assessments expose where the actual opportunities for corruption are and allow targeted and measureable actions that mitigate them. This approach creates the means for more effective action in reducing corruption by narrowing the focus of reforms efforts and delivers the means to more effectively monitor and evaluate the progress of efforts.

Why Vulnerabilities Using a standardized audit and anti-corruption method of risk assessments the VCA methodology was an adapted in field work in a number of endemically corrupt countries. It addresses the failures of standard risk assessment methods get ‘below the surface’ of corruption mechanisms and address the vulnerabilities to integrity that exist from corruption networks exploiting opportunities in the system that won’t be revealed using regular methods.

Integrity Vulnerabilities Integrity vulnerabilities include: misuse of office/power based on insufficient management and control in the current system (inefficiencies); misuse of office/power by officials based on insufficient budget/means to execute normal operations (insufficiencies) and misuse of office/power to obtain funds beyond those necessary for normal operations and are for private gain (malfeasance/corruption)

Typology of Corruption A corrupt practice is the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting, directly or indirectly, anything of value to influence improperly the actions of another party. (Bribery) A corrupt practice that benefits associates or politically exposed persons close to political elites for private gain rather than the public (Nepotism/Patronage) A fraudulent practice is any act or omission, including a misrepresentation that knowingly or recklessly misleads, or attempts to mislead, a party to obtain a financial or other benefit or to avoid an obligation. (Fraud) A coercive practice that is impairing or harming, or threatening to impair or harm, directly or indirectly, any party or the property of the party to influence improperly the actions of a party. (Extortion)

Typology of Malfeasance A coercive practice that involves the involuntary or illegal obtainment of property of an individual or the state. (Theft) A collusive practice is an arrangement between two or more parties designed to achieve an improper purpose, including influencing improperly the actions of another party. (Collusion) Efforts of firms to shape the laws, policies, and regulations of the state to their own advantage by providing illicit private gains to public officials (State capture)

Vulnerability to Corruption Assessments Step 1: Develop an overall view of the business process/operations within the institutions/sector. Policy and Practices Step 2: Identify key experts for each institution/sector Step 3: A series of individual expert interviews with practitioners to identify corruption vulnerabilities. Step 4:Verify and rank level of vulnerability

Vulnerability to Corruption Assessments Follow Up Step 5: Develop checklist is developed based on Vulnerabilities to Corruption Matrix to provide a self assessment tool for the relevant agencies. Step 6: Development of Integrity Vulnerabilities Mitigation Plan that will close opportunities for corruption. Step 7: Monitoring of reduction of identified vulnerabilities and /or emergence of new ones.
