Certain international organizations recognize that corruption and bribery are detrimental to business integrity. The authors recognize anti-corruption management control as an essential part of day-to-day management as an effective measure to prevent bribery.
The subject of the research is business principles, as well as existing theoretical and legal positions regarding such a legal category as bribery in relation to the field of international business.
