The field of intervention against corruption, more than identifying specific conducts, is aimed at the regulation and proceduralization of specific activities.
The logic of prevention is preferred over repression: a change of perspective, whereby situations in which risk is merely potential- as in case of "seeming" conflict of interest - become relevant and is required, in its presence, to take actions of "removal" with choices that sometimes completely ignore individual behaviour.
The fundamental responsibility to avoid attempts of crime leakages lies with companies and administrators.
Not implementing contrast to this risk from the beginning entails consequences at different levels.
The actions that entrepreneurs can take to defend their businesses and themselves are several.
Our solutions aim to operate on what "can happen" and not only on what has happened. The focus shifts from the crime pathology to the risk presence. The strategy addresses to avoid and clear conflicts of interest, in a drawing made of specific measures and sectoral regulations.
A first level of intervention is linked to a rigorous monitoring of corporate functions, to implement control mechanisms. Entrepreneurs and managers need elements that allow them to "perceive" the existence of a risk, even when this is not clear out yet.
