OECD Global Anti-Corruption & Integrity Week 2025
In March 2025, Liz David-Barrett spoke at the Knowledge Partner Session Creating Certainty in an Uncertain World: The Evolving Role of Gatekeepers, hosted by the World Economic Forum’s Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI). The session examined the crucial role of professionals such as lawyers, accountants, financial institutions and real estate actors in preventing illicit financial flows, with a particular focus on the governance risks and compliance challenges facing the built environment sector.
G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group
In September 2020, Liz David-Barrett was invited to present suggestions on priority areas for action to the G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group, along with Arturo Bris (IMD), Alexey Konov (HSE), Brigitte Seim (U. of North Carolina) and Thomas Stelzer (IACA). Subsequently, the CSC was invited to co-convene - in partnership with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) - an Anti-Corruption Academic Roundtable on behalf of the G20 Saudi Presidency. Professor Liz David-Barrett opened the discussion with an Introduction to the three topics: (i) cooperation among law enforcement agencies; (ii) corruption in public procurement; and (iii) measuring corruption and the impact of anti-corruption policy. The discussions formed the basis for a set of recommendations which Professor Liz David-Barrett presented to the G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group on 19 October and to the Ministerial Meeting on 22 October 2020.
