The corruption reports received are used as an important source of information to fight corruption and hold leaders and those with access to power, in both the public and private sectors, accountable for their actions. The reports are analysed to identify patterns and 'hot spots' of corruption, and research reports are shared with the public, civil society organisations, and public sector bodies undermined by corruption, to expose and find solutions to systemic corruption. Selected reports are investigated and the findings are presented to the authorities to take further action, and are publicised on our communications platforms, and may also be used to inform policy development.
