“Push” factors driving illicit financial flows

UNDP Activities O Enhancing the capacity of anti-corruption agencies (7 countries in Asia, incl. Malaysia) O Supporting UNCAC ratification and self- assessments (a dozen countries in AP) O Supporting civil society organizations (incl. chambers of commerce) O Facilitating knowledge and information sharing (AP INTACT) O Supporting sectoral interventions (health, education, water, extractive industries, forestry, etc.)

Anti-Corruption Agency Focus on Private Sector Corruption

Questions O Is a code of conduct sufficient? What about trade mispricing, fraud, illicit financial flows, bank secrecy in APEC member economies? O Is voluntary action sufficient? What about law enforcement? What is the role of Anti- Corruption Agencies? What is the role of Chambers of Commerce? O To what extent is the APEC Anti-Corruption Code of Conduct implemented by the Extractive Industries and the Banks?
