EY: Corruption not visible, but potentially present
22:34
Only 14 percent of Polish managers are convinced that corruption is a major issue in the country, according to the latest edition of EY’s Global Fraud Survey. The CEE regional average is 47 percent and the global average is 38 percent.
However, almost half of the survey’s Polish respondents said they would be willing to act unethically to achieve business goals. Some 36 percent said they would offer entertainment, 12 percent would give presents and 20 percent would give money in order to maintain or gain business relations, the study found.
“The results of the EY poll are disturbing,” said Mariusz Witalis, partner at the fraud risk management department of the consultancy. “In a time of crisis many companies have loosened their ethics codes and the results are still visible.”
