Bribery Humanized

Bribery is rarely black and white. David O’Regan’s Bribery Humanized reveals the patterns and shades of grey between gifts and bribes. It encourages us to recognize warning signs and speak up. Ethics hotlines matter, but so does individual courage. A must-read for anyone committed to integrity. – Rainer Lenz, Honorary Professor at University of Pretoria
We internal auditors spend our careers mapping controls and audit trails around bribery, yet O’Regan shows how much they miss. Reading bribes as corrupted gifts rather than rule violations, I found Bribery Humanized captivating for adding what compliance frameworks cannot: the complexity of culture and human relationships. – Michele Montefusco, Scientific Committee Coordinator and Faculty, Associazione Italiana Internal Auditors (AIIA)
This book should be required reading for all those in managerial or assurance roles. As the foreword reminds us, bribery ‘survives in the spaces that the rules were never intended to address.’ Providing both historical perspective and compelling case studies, O’Regan brings to life the spaces we - and bribery - inhabit. – Sara I. James, PhD, CIA, author of Radical Reporting: Writing Better Audit, Risk, Compliance, and Information Security Reports
