International Anti-Corruption Day

Last week I was in New York City for International Anti-Corruption Day and I didn't even know it. Global CEO Samuel DiPiazza of PricewaterhouseCoopers used the occasion to announce his firm's establishment of a global Anti-Corruption Centre of Excellence. "Furthering our commitment to the global fight against corruption, PricewaterhouseCoopers has established an Anti-Corruption Centre of Excellence to strategically align the specialized skills and resources of our firm to help our private and public sector clients," CEO DiPiazza said. "The Centre will provide clients unparalleled access to our deep expertise in addressing the corruption challenges of today and tomorrow." According to DiPiazza, "The estimated one trillion dollars lost each year to corruption could feed up to 400 million people for the next 27 years. We can and must stop this corrupt behavior."

As reported by Market Watch, CEO Samuel DiPiazza is a board member of the World Economic Forum Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (WEF PACI). PricewaterhouseCoopers was the first international accounting firm to join WEF PACI in 2006.

Congratulations to PwC for advancing the fight against global corruption in business and government. For more information, go to Market Watch:
