GIACC’s policy
GIACC’s policy is to promote change in the future. It does not seek to cast blame on any particular group of participants in the sector for the existence of corruption. It does not investigate or report on allegations of corruption. Nor will the names of any organisations or individuals accused or convicted of corruption be listed on this web-site. However, GIACC does provide links to the web-sites of numerous other organisations, and these other web-sites may contain these details.
GIACC’s location
GIACC’s international headquarters is located in England. However, GIACC operates internationally.
GIACC affiliates
GIACC is developing an international network of affiliates. These will be independent not for profit organisations which will be registered in their country of operation. They will be called “GIACC - [Country name]”. They will promote GIACC’s objectives within that country, and will co-operate with other members of the GIACC network.
