    4 Executive Summary

    The Deence and Security Programme oTransparency International UK has beenworking with governments, deencecompanies, armed orces, civil societyand policy-makers to improve anti-corruption standards in the deence sectorsince 2004. Our objective is to ensure thatstrong, eective mechanisms are in placein governments and companies to prevent

    corruption in deence, and to empowercivil society to demand transparencyand accountability in this sector.

    Corruption in deence is a vital issueor many nations and or global security.It is dangerous, it is divisive, and it iswasteul.

    IT MATTERS FOR CITIZENS

    Corruption oten leads to impunity,undermining public trust. It threatenscitizens security, such as when the

    militarys ability to act with impunityputs peoples lives at risk.

    IT MATTERS FOR ARMED FORCES,

    SOLDIERS, AIRMEN AND SAILORS

    They are put at risk by unnecessaryor poor-quality deence equipment.

    IT MATTERS FOR COUNTRIES

    Corruption at the top o a deenceestablishment can enable capture othe state by a small clique. Militaryownership o businesses by the militarycan stife the economy. Deenceprocurement is oten subject to lessscrutiny than other sectors, and canthereore be much more corruption-prone and wasteul than other sectors.

    IT MATTERS FOR WORLD SECURITY

    Arms races can be star ted just to satisythe greed o individuals; internationalsecurity can be put at risk throughcorrupt agendas being pursued underthe guise o international cooperation.

    There are an increasing number ogovernments that are concerned that their

    deence and security establishments arecharacterised by integrity, public trust, andno tolerance or corruption. We will doeverything we can to support such eorts.This Index makes levels o corruption riskacross governments visible, and allowsdecision-makers and citizens to monitorthe progress made in reducing this risk.

    THE STUDY

    This is a brand new tool and is the result oa major two-year study. This Index provides

    governments and citizens with inormationon how their deence ministries and armedorces compare to others in tackling deencecorruption. It measures the degree ocorruption risk and vulnerability ingoernment deence establishments the deence ministry, the armed orces,and other government institutions in thatcountry (such as auditing institutions) thatmay infuence levels o corruption risk inthe sector. It orms a basis or reorm orconcerned governments, and serves as atool to identiy where to concentrate eorts.

    As a part o this Index, 82 countriesacross the globe were subject to expert,independent assessment. These countriesaccounted or 94 per cent o global militaryexpenditure in 2011 (USD 1.6 trillion).

    Each country was assessed using acomprehensive questionnaire o 77questions, clustered into ve risk areas:political risk, nance risk, personnel risk,

    operations risk, and procurement risk. Eacho these ve areas in turn has specic riskareas, as shown in the diagram below.

    The analysis was subjected to multiplelevels o peer review to minimise the risk obias and inaccuracies in the responses.Governments were given opportunities tocomment on the drat and to provideadditional commentary i they desired. Eachgovernment has received a comprehensivereport outlining our ndings or eachquestion, with reerences to all the sources

    we used. These assessments are madepublic on our website.A second index has also been developed

    that addresses deence companies,analysing the anti-corruption systems o129 major global companies. This index,the Deence Companies Anti-CorruptionIndex (www.comanies.deenceindex.org), was published by TransparencyInternational UKs Deence and SecurityProgramme, on 4th October, 2012.

    7Executive Summary

    TYpES OF CORRUpTION RISK

    The index ound varying degrees ocorruption risks or the ve risk areas: political corrution risk: The capacity olegislatures to hold deence establishmentsto account is severely limited. There areminimal ormal mechanisms or scrutiny odeence policy in 45 per cent o countries,and evidence o highly eective mechanisms

    in only 12 per cent o countries studied. Financial corrution risks:

    Considerable secrecy surrounds nance indeence and security. Three-quarters ocountries examined do not publicly revealthe percentage o secret deence andsecurity expenditure.

    personnel corrution risk: Over 70per cent o the countries examined possessrobust payment systems, and in nearly 90per cent o countries at least some ormalmeasures are in place or personnel ound

    to have taken part in corruption. However,signicant improvements are necessaryto support whistle-blowers in the deencesector. Whistle-blower protection is lackingin 76 o the 82 countries examined.In addition, very little attention is paid tobetter preparing personnel in sensitivepositions, such as increasing starotation and training.

    Oerations corrution risks: Theoverwhelming majority o nations lack anymilitary doctrine addressing corruption riskon operations, and have not institutionalisedanti-corruption training or monitoringmechanisms or use in the eld.

    procurement corrution risks:Serious challenges are observed in this keyrisk area. Transparency is largely absent,and proper controls o complex componentso the procurement cycle, including sub-contractors, brokers, nancing packages,and osets programmes, are oten lacking.

    Only two countries, Australia and Germany,have high levels o transparency, and strong,institutionalised activity to addresscorruption risk (Band A). This unexpectedlysmall number o countries shows thatdeence anti-corruption measures are stillin their inancy. This holds true even amongthe many OECD countries that are amongthe 82 nations analysed, which generally

    have strong government institutions andrule o law.

    About 30 per cent o the countries havegenerally high or moderate transparency,with some activity to address corruptionrisks, but with shortcomings (Band Band Band C).

    The rest o the nations have poor results,with 57 o the 82 countries, or 69 per cent,scoring in the bottom three bandsD, E

    and F. This includes 20 o the largest 30arms importers in the world assessed,and 16 o the largest 30 arms exportersassessed.1 This disappointing result showsthat deence risk in most countries is poorlycontrolled, with correspondingly highvulnerability to corruption.

    ACTIONS

    Deence Leaders: Carry out adetailed analysis o the corruption risksin your deence sector. Publish policies,budgets, and procurement plans, andencourage and respect public andlegislative scrutiny. Make secrecy a

    legitimate exception, not the norm.

    Legislators: Ensure a strongcommittee is in place to monitorand oversee deence, security, andintelligence issues. Establish a suitablesub-committee that can ensure robustquestioning o all topics withheldrom public oversight in the nameo national security.

    Ciil Society: Bring this subject tothe level o national dialogue, andactively monitor and oversee deencepolicies, budgets, and activities. Actas a conduit between citizens and thedeence establishment and demandaccountability.

    Deence Comanies: Ensure strongethics and compliance systems arein place in your company. Use thebenchmark provided by the sisterindex to this report to evaluate yourcompanys anti-corruption systems.

    8 The Study

    The Study

    Transparency International UK (TI-UK)has been working to improve anti-corruptionstandards in the deence sector since 2004.During the course o this work, governmentshave repeatedly asked us what constitutesgood practice in avoiding and preventingcorruption risk. The Government DeenceAnti-Corruption Index is a key part oanswering that question, alongside the

    Deence Companies Anti-Corruption Index,which was published by TI-UK on 4thOctober 2012. For a comprehensiveexplanation o the methodology andquestionnaire and the detailed results orboth indices, please visit the indiceswebsite at: www.deenceindex.org

    This Government Deence Anti-CorruptionIndex seeks to measure the degree ocorruption risk in goernment deenceand security establishments thedeence and security ministries, the armed

    orces, and other government institutionsin that country (such as auditing institutions)likely to infuence levels o corruption riskin the sector.

    One important word o caution.This analysis is inevitably based on theinormation that we can glean rom publicsources or rom MOD ocials willing todiscuss the topic. Sometimes, ourinormation will be incomplete, inaccurateor out o date. The remedy is part o beingan accountable Deence Ministry: all nationsshould ensure that their integrity systemsand controls are transparent and open topublic scrutiny.

    THE COUNTRIES

    We analysed 82 countries across the globe.They were selected according to the size otheir arms trade, the absolute and percapita size o the military, a proxy o thesize o their security sector, and on ensuringa geographically diverse set o countries.2

    THE QUESTIONNAIRE

    The research or each country was carriedout using a detailed questionnaire o 77questions clustered into e risk areas,which ollow the TI-UK Deence and SecurityProgrammes typology o risks in the sector.These risk areas are:1. political risk: the risk o deencelegislation and controls being compromisedby corruption.2. Finance risk: the risk o abuse o large,potentially secretive deence budgets andincome.

    3. personnel risk: the risk o corruptionamong armed orces and deence ministrypersonnel.4. Oerations risk: the risk o corruptionoccurring during military operations at homeand abroad.5. procurement risk: the risk o corruptionin the process o purchasing deenceequipment and arms.

    2 It should be noted that although the generic termcountry is used throughout the study, in twoinstances we include non-independent territories:Taiwan, and the Palestinian National Authority.

    9The Study

    These risk areas, in turn, are associatedwith particular sub-topics, as shown inthe typology that ollows. The number oquestions that are asked o each topicis also shown on the diagram.

    The number o questions within eachcategory and sub-category were deemedrepresentative o the degree o importanceo each topic we assigned to each category

    and sub-category, so no articial weightingwas used. A list o all the questions is alsoprovided at the back o this report.

    10 The Study

    THE ASSESSMENT pROCESS

    The questionnaire was answered by a leadcountry assessor, whose responses werereviewed by two independent peerreviewers. Assessors used a wealth omaterial to come to their conclusions:media articles, specialist books and papers,and interview research. The researchersrecruited were independent specialists

    across academia, journalism, and theanti-corruption movement, including TInational chapters. We sought individualsbased in-country and who had access toknowledge on the ground. In recruiting theset o researchers or each country, wesought to include individuals with variedexperience. The country research wascarried out across three stages, betweenJuly 2011 and November 2012.

    The answer to each question is scoredrom 0 to 4, and detailed model answers

    were provided or assessors and reviewersguidance. They are detailed on the Questionand Model Answer Document, available romwww.deenceindex.org. This helpedstandardise the responses across countriesand ensure a tight ocus on deencecorruption risk. Assessors were required toprovide a paragraph o narrative justicationor their scoring, and to list reerences, oreach question. Through in-depth analysis oeach risk area, an overall picture o acountrys deence corruption risk wasdeveloped.

    In total we had more than 200 assessorsand peer reviewers. The country researchwas carried out across three stagesbetween July 2011 and November 2012.

    GOvERNMENT REvIEW OF THE RESULTS

    We encouraged all o the governments tocollaborate in the assessment.3 This originalaspect o index methodology enabledvaluable dialogue between governments andresearchers, and helped ensure accuracy inassessor responses. To encourage dialogue,

    we sent the drat results to each

    government where we had been givena point o contact (34 o the 82), and sentthe nal drat assessment to all DeenceMinisters too. Fourteen provided a detailedreview (Australia, Austria, Bosnia andHerzegovina, Bulgaria, Cyprus, CzechRepublic, Germany, Latvia, Norway, Poland,South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, and Ukraine).Other governments have responded to the

    research through acknowledgement orsubmission o a set o general comments:these are available on our website,www.deenceindex.org.

    This analysis is based on publicinormation and our inormation willthereore sometimes be incomplete.This may be remedied simply by up todate inormation being provided by theDeence Ministry.

    In the meantime, we welcomeresponses rom nations on innacuracies

    and omissions, and we will publish suchresponses on the Index website.

    TRANSpARENCY INTERNATIONAL REvIEW

    We invited Transparenct InternationalNational Chapters, where present, toundertake a review. In addition, theTransparency International Deence andSecurity Programme's (TI-DSP) team carriedout detailed standardisation and consistencychecks across all countries to ensure thatthe scores or each question werecomparable, and in line with the modelanswers. TI-DSP is ultimately responsibleor the nalised scores and banding.

    THE SCORING

    Each question was scored rom 0 to 4,using detailed model answers or guidance.Narrative justications and lists o relevantreerences were provided by assessors ortheir scoring.

    Ater being scored rom 0 to 4 on eachquestion, countries were scored overall inbands rom A to F based on the percentage

    o marks they were awarded across theentire survey. The number o questions setor each category and sub-categoryrefected the importance o speciccorruption risks, and as such was reliedupon instead o any articial weighting toderive the overall scores.

    Only two o the 82 countries assesseddemonstrate a ery low level o corruptionrisk, placing them in Band A.

    These two countries share severalcharacteristics:

    Each country is highly transparent regardingall sources o deence income and eectiveinternal audit mechanisms are in place ordeence ministry expenditure.

    The nations intelligence services are

    held accountable to citizens through strong,independent oversight by parliament.

    There is strong control of nancial

    corruption risk. There is no evidence oo-budget military expenditures in thesecountries. Accountability is enorced throughstrong provisions regulating the

    deence budget expenditure allocated tosecret spending is not publicly disclosed bytheir government.

    CSO Engagement between CivilSociety Organisations and deence andsecurity institutions on topics o deence,including corruption, is a weak point orGermany.

    Operations risk is the most vulnerable

    area or the band. Neither country directlyaddresses corruption as a strategic risk inoperations through military doctrine.

    Variations are apparent between the twocountries within the band. Germanyperorms more poorly in the eld ooperations, lacking ocused systems oanti-corruption training and monitoring inthe eld. Australia perorms more poorly innance, where transparency concerningsecret items in the budget is lacking.

    Corruption risk or countries in Band B isassessed to be low. This group representsonly 9 per cent o all countries in the index.They perorm strongly in several commonareas:

    Salary chains in defence and security

    establishments are transparent; paymentsystems are robust.

    Across most countries in the band,

    deence and security institutions are legallyremoved rom holding any interests innatural resource exploitation.

    In Taiwan and South Korea, the armed

    orces are to be noted or standards ostrictness and discipline, in whichbehaviours such as receipt o acilitationpayments are likely to be punished severely.

    Areas o concern among countries inBand B relate to:

    Secrecy. Countries in this band,

    on average, perorm worse in the areao control o spending on secret items thancountries in Band C. While in Norway,South Korea, and Sweden, the level osecret spending is not publicly available,in the United States, over 8 per cent o thedeence budgeta high proportionisdedicated to secret items and programmes.

    Corrution Risk Assessment.Countries in this group tend to do little toregularly assess and identiy the greatestcorruption risks in deence and securityinstitutions.

    Oerations. Almost all countries withlow overall corruption risk display their weakscores in operations. Within this category,

    training specic to corruption risks onoperations is a particular area that needsto be addressed.

    Whistle-blowing. Evidence o robustmechanisms acilitating whistle-blowing,and protecting whistle-blowers, are inplace only in Norway, Taiwan, and theUnited States.

    procurement Risk. Regulation

    and control over the use o agentsand intermediaries within the deenceprocurement process is not strong.Transparency requirements o deenceprocurement nancing packages, andcontrols o sub-contractors, aregenerally weak.

    In terms o band variation, there isconsiderable deviation in the area o nancecorruption risk. South Korea and Swedenemerge as the poorest perormers in the

    band in this area. Norway, the UK, Taiwanhave more developed controls. There isinteresting convergence in procurementcorruption risk. In this risk area, robustanti-corruption controls are seen acrossthe band in the elds o government policy,procurement strategy, and contract delivery.

    or example, the State Audit Oce conductseective asset disposal scrutiny, inormationon secret expenditure is available to thelegislature, and there are no o-budgetitems. Yet this is not an entirelycomprehensive nding. Brazil and Greece,in particular, exhibit a lack o adequatecontrols with regard to asset disposals,spending on secret items, and relatedlegislative scrutiny and audit.

    In this group, consistent with countries inBands A and B, operations corruption risk

    demands attention. Major problems acrossBand C countries are seen relating to a lacko anti-corruption guidelines and training incontracting, and the monitoring o corruptionrisks in the eld. The control o procurementrisks within the band is also limited. A ocuson due diligence requirements bygovernments with regard to deenceprocurement oset contracts is lacking inall nations across the band apart romColombia, Greece, and Poland. In Chile,military exceptions to public procurementlaws create corruption risk, as does thehandling o osets by a government agencyprimarily in place to promote economicproduction.

    Conormity o bidding companieswith compliance and business conductprogrammes is also lacking in countriesin Band C. Government requirements withregard to anti-corruption programmes orsubcontractors and subsidiaries aregenerally lacking. Croatia is noteworthyor its poor perormance in managingprocurement risk, with either no or very

    ew institutionalised activities to ensuretransparency in the deence procurementprocess.

    Some trends are apparent: Limited ciil society engagement

    with deence and security institutions ishighlighted in all countries apart romArgentina and Bulgaria. France, Brazil,and Chile stand out as countries wherethere is no evidence to suggest any suchinteraction takes place.

    proisions to encouragewhistle-blowing and to protect whistle-blowers, is another weak point or Band Ccountries. In Czech Republic, France,Hungary and Spain there is little evidenceo any mechanisms to acilitate corruptionreporting in deence and security institutions.

    All countries in the band except Greece

    and Poland lack adequate oversight opersonnel in sensitie ositions morevulnerable to impropriety.

    In Band C, defence institutions generally

    have nothing to do with their countrysnatural resource exloitation. Where theydo have controlling or nancial interests in it,appropriate scrutiny is undertaken.

    18 Results by Band

    Thirty-six per cent o the countriesassessed by the index are ound to havehigh corrution risk, placing them inBand D. They span all ve regions.

    Band D illustrates variable characteristics,with countries exhibiting strong systems insome areas and very poor systems in others.Some positive eatures are:

    payment systems and ersonnel

    receiing ay in a timely manner.Most countries score well, except Rwanda,Ethiopia and Tanzania. Belarus and Mexicoalso have shortcomings.

    Mexico, Nepal and Lebanon dedicate

    less than 1 per cent o deence expenditureto secret sending.

    Ghost soldiers in the military.There is little evidence o ghost soldiers ctitious soldiers that exist only on thepayroll o deence institutions and can beused as a way to siphon unds. In Russia

    and Thailand, however, such cases havebeen reported in the past ve years. International anti-corrution

    instruments. Most countries in this grouphave ratied international anti-corruptioninstruments. Only three countriesPakistan,Palestine and Kenyahave signed but notratied them. More than hal the countrieshave shown evidence o compliance.

    Controlling risks related to organisedcrime within deence ministries. Highscores are achieved by Kuwait and the UAE,along with Bangladesh and Tanzania.

    Absence o riate militarycontractors. Most countries in this groupdo not use private military contractorsalthough regulations to ensure strongcontrols i they are used are almostuniversally lacking. Kuwait, China, Jordan,Ethiopia, and Rwanda show highcorruption risk in this area.

    Particularly high risks within this groupare associated with:

    Whistle-blowing. Several countries

    Russia, Cyprus, Turkey, Bosnia andHerzegovina, Kuwait, and Pakistanhaveno mechanisms or eective whistle-blowing.Only one country, Singapore, encourageswhistle-blowing in deence institutions,illustrating eective and well-established

    legislation and mechanisms. Risk assessment. No country applies

    corruption risk assessment in the sectoras a regular practice.

    Exenditure on secret items androgrammes. Twenty-our o the 30countries located in Band D do not disclosethe level o expenditure dedicated to secretspending.

    Legislatie scrutiny andarliamentary debate. Many countries donot audit secret budgets. Lack o meaningulscrutiny in China is a notable problem: highlycentralised structures ensure a wealth oregulation in the deence sector, but theconcentration o power itsel createscorruption risk.

    Ealuation o corrut risks in the eldduring oerations. There is little evidencethat any country in Band D regularly deploystrained proessionals who are able to monitor

    corruption risk in the eld during missions. Guidelines or training on corrutionrisks in contracting on oerations. Not asingle country in Band D trains its staspecically with regard to this corruptionrisk, although Bosnia and Herzegovina hasrelevant guidelines or deployed sta.

    Robust due diligence requirementsor oset rogrammes which are lackingin every country in Band D. Cyprus does,however, ensure that oset contracts aresubject to the same level o competition asthe main deence contracts, while the UAEdisplays considerable transparency withregard to osets.

    Transarency o nancing ackageso deence rocurement contracts. Fiteencountries in the band ail to disclose anyinormation at all with regard to the nancingpackages o deence procurement contracts.Bangladesh and Singapore do, however,provide more inormation.

    Control o subcontractors andsubsidiaries in deence rocurement.The governments o the vast majority o

    countries in Band D do not require deenceprocurement contractors to ensure thattheir subcontractors and subsidiaries adoptanti-corruption programmes. Among thenations in the band, only India appears tocontrol this risk.

    Twenty seven countries - one third o thetotal - have little or no transparency o theirdeence anti-corruption mechanisms andcontrols. Band E and Band F countries areassessed to have ery high and criticalrisk o corruption respectively. Together,they make up one third o all countriesassessed in the index. A majority o thecountries in this group are rom the Middle

    East and North Arica (MENA) and Sub-Saharan Arica.

    The two principal characteristics o theMENA countries in this group are theircentralised control with little or no publicscrutiny and instabilityor proximity toitwhich has a bearing on corruptionrisk in the sector.

    Libya, or example, in the atermath othe Qadda regime, lacks institutionalisedmechanisms to handle corruption risk inthe sector and has a legacy o centralised

    control in which transparency and scrutinywere anathema.The deence and securitysector in Syria, meanwhile, is stronglyguarded against any civilian oversight andis tightly the remit o presidential control.Even where legislation exists, it is believedto be ignored. In Yemen, traditionally,deence and security institutions werepart o an elite patronage network in thecountry, with considerable involvementin corrupt activities.

    Countries in these bands rom Sub-Saharan Arica, meanwhile, have otensuered rom a legacy o confict, instability,poor governance, and internal divisions allo which create or exacerbate corruptionrisk in the deence sector. In Angola there isa legacy o civil war and political dominance

    o the central party, along with a lack otransparency, considerable o-budgetexpenditure, and military interest incommerce. Eritrea exhibits very poor results,beset by networks o patronage, highlysecretive government and, again, a legacyo confict.

    Countries rom outside o these twoprincipal regions are also represented in this

    group. Uzbekistan was ound to have veryhigh corruption risk, where the propensityor executive control or infuence overoversight and debate undermines thepotential or corruption to be addressed.In the Philippines and Indonesia, nancialcorruption risk is a concern. For example,controls o asset disposals are weak, andsignicant o-budget expenditure createsconsiderable corruption risk. Sri Lankaexhibits similar faws in the eld o nance,and corruption risk there is exacerbated by

    centralised presidential control, limitedopportunity or scrutiny, and a lack otransparency. Finally, Venezuelademonstrates severe lack o transparencyand poor enorcement o existing legislation,leading to weak perormance across all verisk categories. Aghanistans placement inBand E is a positive result, given theinstability o the country.

    pOLITICAL CORRUpTION RISK

    There were some positive results in thepolitical context o the deence and securitysector. The bulk o governments have signedup to international anti-corruptioninstruments, though the on-going challengeremains or signatory status to be matched by

    ull compliance. Links between the militaryand natural resource exploitation are a knowncorruption risk in the sector; however, in over55 per cent o the assessed countries withsignicant natural resources, deenceinstitutions do not have links with naturalresource exploitation or, i they do, these linksare reported to be subject to credible publicand parliamentary scrutiny.

    Yet corruption risk in the area is, overall,considerable, with countries awarded anaverage o just 42 per cent o the available

    marks. The capacity o legislatures to holddeence establishments to account isseverely limited. There are no or ew ormalmechanisms or scrutiny o deence policy inover 45 per cent o countries, and evidenceo highly eective mechanisms in only 12per cent o countries. Other concerns in therisk area relate to the ollowing:

    There is no evidence of independent

    external oversight o intelligence servicespolicies, budgets, and administration in halo the countries assessed.

    Government willingness to engage with

    civil society organisations on the matter oanti-corruption initiatives in the deence

    sector is very limited, with only Australiaound to have a policy o engagement withthem on corruption in deence, and toprotect them legally.

    Some degree of regular assessment

    o areas o greatest corruption risk in theDeence Ministry was ound in ewer than10 per cent o countries.

    Such results may illuminate why thereare largely sceptical public perceptionso corruption in deence. Researchersound evidence that only in 15 per cento countries do the public trust thedeence establishments commitmentto anti-corruption.

    POLITICAL CONTROLS ONDEFENCE IN BULGARIA

    Bulgaria has strong controls in place toaddress political corruption risk in deenceand security. It has active mechanisms orlegislative scrutiny and parliamentaryoversight o deence policy. Deence andsecurity institutions show engagementwith civil society organisations (CSOs),and rom July 2011 the Ministry oDeence has sent a bulletin to CSOsinorming them o the latest developmentsin the Ministry. In addition, the MODappears to encourage public dialogue othese issues, and drat MOD policydocuments are discussed in workshopsinvolving opinion-ormers and academia.

    FINANCE CORRUpTION RISK

    Financial corruption risk in the deencesector takes numerous orms. It concernsthe degree to which asset disposals aremonitored, controlled, and transparent. Itinvolves potentially illicit use o budgetsearmarked as secret, oten kept rom public

    and legislative oversight in the name onational security, and o spendingconducted o the ocial governmentbudget. It concerns corrupt behaviourassociated with both licit and illicit military-owned businesses and with unauthorisedprivate enterprise by military personnel.

    The largest overarching problem in theeld o nancial corruption risk was ound tobe secrecy. It is common or governments tojustiy secrecy and opaqueness withreerence to national security, yet the criteria

    or what is justiably kept secret orlegitimate national security purposes isrequently unclear or too broad.

    More specicially: Three-quarters of the countries

    examined do not publicly reveal thepercentage o deence and securityexpenditure dedicated to secret itemsrelated to national security and theintelligence services.

    In 40 per cent of countries assessed,

    a legislative committee is provided with no

    inormation on secret spending and in hal ocountries, legislators are not provided withaudit reports on secret items or secretprograms are not audited at all.

    There are no controls of asset disposals

    in our-tenths o the countries assessed, orvery little public knowledge o such controls.

    CONTROLS ON DEFENCESPENDING IN COLOMBIA

    In Colombia, less than 1 per cent o theoverall deence budget is spent on secretitems. The very small proportion o thebudget that is spent on secret items issubject to audits that are available tothe legislature.

    There are also robust controls omilitary asset disposals, and o-budgetexpenditure is illegal, resulting in a strongscore or Colombia in the area o nancialcorruption risk control.

    pERSONNEL CORRUpTION RISK

    Corruption risk in personnel relates to controlo impropriety among armed orces andcivilian personnel in the deence and securitysector. It was in this risk area that countriesperormed best relative to the others.Over hal o the countries in the index were

    awarded 50 per cent or more o the availablemarks in this area.

    Deence Ministries perormed best onthe ollowing:

    Having a well-established payment

    system or personnel characterised bytimeliness and accuracy. Over 70 per cento the countries examined possess robustpayment systems, and the development oautomated systems or payment o salariesand allowances was ound to be a driving

    orce in preventing such risk in modernarmed orces and deence ministries. Avoidance of the problem of non-

    existent, ghost soldiers on the payroll.Over 40 per cent o nations analysed seemnot to have this problem at all ; in only 10per cent o nations does this seem to bean unaddressed issue.

    In nearly 90 per cent of countries

    at least some ormal measures are inplace or personnel ound to have takenpart in corruption.

    Yet there remain major areas in whichmost governments perorm poorly.

    In most countries, there is little evidencethat whistle-blowers are protected romreprisal when they attempt to reportimpropriety. Signicant improvements arenecessary to ensure eective legislationexists to support whistle-blowers in thedeence sector, which was lacking in 76

    o the 82 countries examined.Across the majority o countries, there is

    also a marked lack o special attention paidto personnel in positions particularlyvulnerable to corruption risk, such as specialvetting, rotation o personnel, or extratraining. With respect to the Index questionidentiying this particular risk, countries areawarded, overall, only slightly over 30 percent o the available marks. In 53 o the 82countries analysed, such special attentioneither does not exist, or its existence is

    unveriable.

    OpERATIONS CORRUpTION RISK

    The corruption risks involved in thecomplexities o military operations are poorlyunderstood as well as poorly controlled. Theaverage operations integrity score acrosscountries is 28 per cent, which is telling interms o the lack o controls countries have

    installed that embrace corruption as astrategic issue, institutionalise operationaltraining and operational corruptionmonitoring, and control contracting whilein theatre.

    Just two countries have comprehensive

    military doctrine addressing corruptionissues.

    In two-thirds of countries, there is

    no known training in corruption issues orcommanders to ensure they are clear onthe corruption issues they may ace

    during deployment. Over 90 per cent of countries do notdeploy personnel or corruption monitoringon operations or peacekeeping missionson a regular basis.

    Countries only perormed better regardingthe use o private military contractors. Theuse o private military contractors increasesthe risk o corruption i democratic andormalised controls are lacking, and i theactivities and operations o theseorganisations lack transparency.Nevertheless, this result was oten becausecountries do not use private militarycontractors, rather than because there wasevidence o eective legislation that eitheroutlaws them completely or controls theiruse and the attendant corruption risk.

    MIXED OPERATIONALCONTROLS IN SWEDEN

    While corruption is not explicitly reerredto as a strategic issue in operations inSwedens military doctrine, there iscomprehensive anti-corruption trainingor commanders, and legal advisors

    qualied to report back on corruption risksare deployed in missions. There is,however, a lack o transparency withrelation to the activities o private militarycontractors operating in Sweden, althoughlaws in place are capable o punishingthem or wrongdoing.

    pROCUREMENT CORRUpTION RISK

    Procurement risk is a complex area. Theprocurement cycle is elaborate, involvingdecision-making about procurementrequirements, which may be opportunisticor politicised or, alternatively, quantiedand democratically planned. It may involve

    tendering processes or large and elaboratecontracts. The execution o the deal mayinvolve complicated nancing packages,osets programmes, and brokers.

    The bulk o countries do well in certainprocurement sub-risks. In over 45 per cento the countries in the index there aremechanisms or companies to complainabout malpractice in procurement andcompanies do not, in these countries,believe it to be dangerous to complain. In27 countries included in the index, there is

    a policy to disclose deence purchases.

    Yet the results suggest that the overallperormance o countries with regard toprocurement corruption risk in thedeence sector is weak:

    There is either no evidence of

    procurement oversight mechanisms, oronly evidence o highly opaque and inactiveprocurement oversight mechanisms,in 40 per cent o the countries analysed.

    Where offsets contracts are used,

    30 per cent o governments are not knownto impose any due diligence or auditingrequirements on these complexarrangements at all. Transparencyconcerning these contracts is at best veryrestricted in 60 per cent o these countries.

    In 45 per cent of countries, details

    o the nancing package o deenceprocurement contracts are not madepublicly available.

    In over 65 per cent of countries, there

    is no evidence that the government ormallyor inormally requires the main contractorto ensure that its subsidiaries andsubcontractors adopt anti-corruption

    programmes.

    Thus unique risks associated with the armstrade drive the poor result. Where there arechains o sub-contractors, brokers andintermediaries, large rents to be soughtand elaborate contracts subject to mixeddegrees o transparency, the potential orcorruption is clear.

    SECRECY IN SINGAPOREANDEFENCE PROCUREMENT

    In Singapore, the deence and securitysector is characterised by the absence otransparency, particularly in the elds oprocurement and nance corruption risk.In procurement, only abbreviatedinormation on the procurement cycleprocess is made public, and details arereleased about actual or intendedpurchases only sporadically. The lack otransparency made it troublesome toidentiy procurement oversight, lowering

    the Singaporean procurement integrityscore urther.
