This Handbook, available in English and Myanmar, aims to provide guidance for businesses in Myanmar to support their anti-corruption programmes, drawing on inspiration from examples in Myanmar and elsewhere. It is structured around the eight principles for companies to take action to combat corruption issued by the Anti-Corruption Commission in 2018. These are:

Strong, effective policy and support from top-level management to fight corruption
Risk assessment to effectively identify and evaluate exposure to corruption
Enhanced and detailed measures for high-risk and vulnerable areas
Application of anti-corruption measures to business partners
Accurate books and accounting records
Human resource management policies complementary to anti-corruption measures
Establish trustworthy reporting mechanisms to report suspected corrupt behaviour
Periodic review and evaluation of anticorruption prevention measures

The Handbook gives suggestions to companies on how they can individually put those eight principles into practice, and how they can collectively work with others to do so. Also included are additional resources such as guidelines for a company’s codes of conduct, and gift policy.
