1. "Risk assessment and proposed actions for project owners".

This document:

• gives examples of different types of corrupt practices which can take place during the various phases of a construction project;
• shows how the cumulative cost effect of corrupt practices can make the project uneconomic, with resultant damage to all those affected;
• assesses the risk to project owners as a result of corruption;
• proposes actions which could be taken by project owners to reduce the risk of corruption on construction projects.

2. "Risk Assessment and Proposed Actions for Funders".

This document was prepared by Transparency International on commission for DFID. It has been endorsed by the UK Anti-Corruption Forum which is an alliance between UK business associations, professional institutions and organisations with interests in the infrastructure, construction and engineering sectors.

This document examines the following issues:

• How corruption can take place in the financing and execution of domestic and international construction projects.
• The risks this imposes on those providing various types of finance for projects (funders).
• The actions which funders can take to mitigate these risks."

3. "Risk assessment and proposed actions for construction and engineering companies and consulting engineering firms".

This document:

• examines how the corrupt actions of employees, subsidiary and associated companies, agents, joint venture and consortium partners, sub-contractors, consultants, suppliers, competitors, project owners and government officials can adversely impact on the company during a construction project;
• assesses the losses and civil and criminal liability which a company can incur as a result of corrupt actions by these parties;
• proposes actions which could be taken by construction and engineering companies and consulting engineering firms to reduce the risk of corruption on construction projects.

4. "Examples of corruption".

This document:

• examines the inter-relationship between bribery and fraud, and comments on some methods by which bribes are concealed;
• examines the complex, diverse and fragmented nature of a construction project, which contributes to the prevalence of corruption on projects;
• summarises some of the more common corrupt practices which can take place during the different phases of a construction project;
• provides detailed examples of corrupt practices, together with an analysis of these examples;
• shows the destructively cumulative effect which bribery and fraud of the type described in this report can have on the cost of a construction project.

5. "Independent assessment".

This document:

• comments that corrupt practices on construction projects are concealed, with the result that it is very difficult for anyone not actively involved in the project to prevent or uncover these practices;
• gives examples of different types of corrupt practices which can take place during the various phases of a construction project;
• proposes that these types of corrupt practices could be materially reduced if the participants in a construction project appointed an independent expert assessor, who had open access to the records and employees of the participants, and whose role was to prevent corrupt practices, and to uncover and report corrupt practices;
• suggests the scope of work, appointment mechanism and fee structure of the assessor.

6. "Construction integrity pacts".

This document:

• gives examples of different types of corrupt practices which can take place during the various phases of a construction project;
• assesses the risks which the participants in a construction project face as a result of these corrupt practices;
• proposes the use of independently monitored and enforceable integrity pacts to help reduce these risks;
• analyses the different types of integrity pact which can be used.

7. "Model construction integrity pact - sector".
This document is a model agreement between companies working in the same sector to act with integrity when they compete against each other in tendering for any construction project anywhere in the world.

8. "Model construction integrity pact - project - prequalification and tender".

This document is a model agreement between the project owner, designer and all bidding contractors to act with integrity in relation to the pre-qualification and tender process for a specific construction project.

9. "Model construction integrity pact - project - execution".

This document is a model agreement between the project owner, certifier and the selected contractor to act with integrity in relation to the execution of a specific construction project.

10. "Model claims management code".

This document is a model code of conduct which can be incorporated into construction contracts, and which commits the signatories to deal with contract claims and disputes with absolute integrity.
