THE PRACTITIONER’S VIEWPOINT
EMPLOYEES FACING
CORRUPTION: A PERSONAL
REFLECTION
By Richard T. Bistrong*
In the February 2014 issue of Business Compliance, we dedicated the issue to
“those who suffer the consequences of bad decisions,” emphasizing that it is
time to focus on “the consequences of our actions, and of the circumstances
in which we take them.” The double issue featured the concluding parts of an
article in two parts by Esther Pieterse and Sven Biermann entitled Employees
Facing Corruption.1
As someone who suffered those consequences, through
fourteen and a half months in Federal Prison on a foreign bribery conspiracy
charge, Richard Bistrong evaluates and compares his own experience and
conduct with academic theory and asks if are there lessons learnt that might
be shared with those at the front lines of international business? Using the
Pieterse and Biermann Generic Decision Making Model as a companion to his
own business conduct, Richard outlines a “way forward” for corporations and
prompts further discussion, actionable “to-dos”, and perhaps to inspire internal
researchwithrespecttoanti-briberycompliance,whichisthefocusofthisarticle.
In his own words: “As I do not see my own story as entirely unique, I hope this
commentary, in detailing my own experience, might assist organizations by
elevating topics that are not often discussed, or even acknowledged by some
corporate executives.”
