Our mission

Corruption is not usually defeated by a single organization behaving well. It gives way when enough organizations in a market agree to hold the same line at the same time — what the field calls collective action. That idea sits underneath everything CCEAC does, and it explains why the work is organized as networks rather than as services.

Gather what already works

Practitioners have already written the policies, checklists, training decks and templates that a compliance program needs. The CCEAC Database is where those contributions are collected, reviewed and made searchable, so a small company can start from someone else's tested work instead of a blank page. It is a separate project, still in development — this site explains it and hosts the entry point for contributing to it.

Teach it properly

Resources only go so far without the judgment to apply them. CCEAC's training catalogue was written by practitioners for people who have to build and defend a program, with a certificate that ties the core material together.

Connect the people doing it

Our programs and initiatives exist to put people in the same room: universities running applied research, students working on real projects through GAUP, and sister centres adapting the model to their own countries. The expert network answers questions from organizations working through problems they have not met before.

Keep it free

Everything CCEAC publishes is free to use. The organizations that most need this material — small and medium businesses without a compliance department — are exactly the ones who cannot justify paying for it. Charging them would defeat the point.
