How we measure corruption shapes how we view and address the problem but measuring corruption is also extraordinarily difficult and complex.

The Global Programme for Measuring Corruption ('GPMC') recently held a 'think-in' at their HQ in the International Anti-Corruption Academy, in Vienna, to examine one area that is particularly hard to measure – Illicit Financial Flows, or IFFs, and specifically the IFFs that arise from grand corruption.

The GPMC assembled a team of practitioners and academics to debate and discuss the topic over three days in Vienna.

In this podcast recorded at the 'think-in' Navin Beekarry - Director-General of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in Mauritius since 2016 - discusses his work in this field, in particular his Commission's use of 'politically exposed persons' lists.

If you enjoyed this conversation, and would like to listen to a round-up of the whole 'think-in' - we have just the podcast for you.

In it the co-organisers Liz David Barrett and Ken Okamura - discuss why they chose the topic, what they learnt from the 'think-in' and how it will inform future work.

If you would like to read more on the topic, here’s our key insights brief published after the 'think-in'.
