Australia slips in OECD Anti-Bribery Convention 2009 Assessment
Only four countries - Germany, Norway, Switzerland and the United States - have been serious in their efforts to enforce the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, according to Transparency International. All the other countries in a sample of 36 were found substantially wanting in their enforcement progress, even though they had all signed the Convention. According to the report, barriers included antiquated bribery laws, political interference, and poorly funded regulators. The OECD Convention makes a commitment for signatories to ban foreign bribery by companies based on their soil. It has been signed, to date, by 38 countries. Ten countries were held to be achieving 'moderate' achievement of the Convention commitments. These included France, Japan and the United Kingdom. Countries criticised for having next to no enforcement whatsoever included Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ireland and Poland.

2009 Global Corruption Barometer (GCB) released
The 2009 Global Corruption Barometer, a global public opinion survey released on 3 June 2009 by Transparency International, found that over half of those polled believe that the private sector uses bribes to influence public policy, laws and regulations. The TI website notes that, ‘Half of respondents expressed a willingness to pay a premium to buy from corruption-free companies...The business-related findings of the Barometer send a powerful signal to the private sector and provide yet another incentive -in addition to the legal, reputational and financial risks of corruption- for companies to prove that they are clean and to communicate this clearly to the public.’
