For most companies, preventing corruption is a solo affair. They write codes, devise internal controls and train employees with a little help from law firms and consultants, a smattering of benchmarking against peer organizations, but mostly on their own. Matt Galvin, global vice president, ethics and compliance, at AB InBev, thinks there is a better way. He is working to use AB InBev’s in-house compliance analytics system – called BrewRIGHT – to create a consortium of companies that will work together to build smarter, more effective compliance analytics by pooling resources. In the first part of this two-part series, we look at why cooperation might be helpful in the anti-corruption compliance space and outline how the consortium, called C2CRIGHT, will work. In the second part, we explore how the initiative will handle data privacy and other possible concerns.
