A new research study tests the idea that better training leads to less increased competitiveness and/or less corruption. The findings imply practitioners can potentially place a large dent in corruption payments through broadscale Internal Controls training that increases manager awareness of regulations and compliance within their firm. This will insulate them from malicious bribe requests, as regulatory inspectors are less likely to find obvious violations for which they can threaten fines to extract bribes.
