Project Title Anti-Bribery Disclosure Index (ABADI)
Project Category Innovation
Abstract ABADI is a scoring sheet developed to determine the extent of anti-bribery information disclosure on any communication tools, such as annual report and websites, to demonstrate organization's commitment towards combating corruption. The index consists of 37 items developed from analysis of past literature and organizations' published reports. The input data will be taken based on observation of an organization's annual reports, CSR and sustainability reports, past literature and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) reporting indicators. The level of disclosure could be categorized as "outstanding", "good", "satisfactory", "fair" and "poor". The use of ABADI would encourage organizations to report their implementation of anti-bribery initiatives in any communication medium which in turn, could be used as a criterion of good governance rating system evaluation in Malaysia. ABADI could be potentially commercialized to be used by the profit and non-profit organization as well as policy makers to measure their level of anti-bribery disclosure and practices. This product is an outcome from a research entitled "The Inclusion of Corruption Prevention Strategies in Malaysian Profit and Non-Profit Organizations CSR Practice" funded by Accounting Research Institute, Malaysia.
