This handbook gives decision-makers practical tools and recommendations to help them lead their countries towards reform. The handbook draws upon the past three years of experience working with this sector, with contributions from more than twenty countries around the globe. It covers five main areas:
• Diagnosing the risk;
• Leading change;
• Tackling corruption on operations;
• Procurement; and
• Budgets and Assets.
Much of the handbook is devoted to showing practical reform measures that committed governments and militaries can take to lead change. It helps diagnose corruption risks, outlining 29 specific areas of risk that recur throughout the world - be they political, personnel, procurement, finance, or operations - and suggests practical ways to counter them.

It is a timely, practical guide to help aid organisations deal with corruption in day-to-day operations. When people donate money to aid agencies they expect it to reach people in need. When it ends up in someone’s pocket, this not only hurts the victims but damages the donor-aid-delivery supply chain. Eliminate corruption and donors remain confident and more aid ends up helping those who need it most.

This handbook aims to provide practical guidance to the investigator to the point where judicial proceedings aimed at the forfeiture or confiscation of the proceeds of crime may be instituted. It not only covers the pre-investigative and investigative stages during which information is collated and verified and assets are identified and located. It also provides guidance aimed at the freezing or seizure of assets. It is not the intention of this handbook to deal exhaustively with the entire process in terms of which assets are ultimately forfeited or confiscated. However, the authors do highlight some of the major steps an investigator needs to take in order to ensure a thorough and effective asset tracing investigation.

This is the first publication by USAID on the topic of political finance in emerging democracies. Its purpose is to increase understanding by USAID field staff, host-country political leaders, civil society organizations, and the media of the sometimes obscure and sensitive topic of political finance. It also create awareness of the issues and benefits of open finances and suggests some practical technical assistance options that encourage the use of disclosure as a methodology for strengthening national democratic political processes.

The IDEA Handbook on Funding of Political Parties and Election Campaigns aims to increase the knowledge about the law and practice of political finance around the world.

This handbook was developed, first and foremost, as a practical guide for members of election observation missions. At the same time, it has become a major reference document for ODIHR's election observation methodology and, as such, has also inspired other observer groups, both domestic and international, in developing their own election observation capacity.
This new edition takes account of developments in field practices that have evolved since 2005, such as those for observing new voting technologies and an increased emphasis on the observation of post-election developments. It includes details on how ODIHR has tailored its election-related activities to needs that have been identified in order to best assist participating States with the resources available. As such, this edition of the Handbook provides an overview of the different formats that ODIHR can employ when undertaking election-related activities, including election observation missions, limited election observation missions, election assessment missions and expert teams. Finally, it also elaborates on follow-up to ODIHR election-related recommendations, as well as on media and statistical analysis.

tools available to interested parties all over the globe. The National Chapters of Transparency International and other civil society organisations successfully developed these tools in order to fight corruption.

As Transparency International (TI) passes from a period of primarily awareness-raising to one of developing and implementing concrete anticorruption
strategies, there is a growing need to document the range of chapter programmes, best practices, and lessons learnt. The Corruption Fighters' Tool Kit has been created to share those experiences with others active in the field. It is hoped that the widely tested methodologies and components included in the Tool Kit will have extensive application value for those whose mission is the eradication of corruption at all levels.

The first version of this Source Book (now translated into over 20 languages) argued the case for a "National Integrity System", an holistic approach to transparency and accountability and embracing a range of accountability "pillars", democratic, judicial, media and civil society. The expression has since passed into common usage in development circles, and the argument for an holistic approach to anti-corruption efforts has similarly achieved a widespread consensus. But anti-corruption success stories remain largely elusive.

The OECD has designed a handbook to provide tax examiners with information on the various bribery techniques used and the tools to detect and identify bribes. The OECD Bribery Awareness Handbook for Tax Examiners is now available in 18 languages. To mark the 10th anniversary of the entry into force of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, the 2009 edition includes the Recommendation on Tax Measures for Further Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions. The recommendation requires countries to explicitly prohibit the tax deductibility of bribes to foreign public officials and promotes enhanced co-operation between tax authorities and law enforcement agencies both at home and abroad to counter corruption.

IFES has produced this handbook as part of its Training in Detection and Enforcement (TIDE) program with funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The IFES handbook on how to improve political finance enforcement is the product of extensive research conducted by a team of leading political finance experts and practitioners. It represents the first comprehensive effort to consolidate the experience and knowledge that are currently available. The handbook is a tool that offers options for the enforcement of political finance laws, which enforcement agencies can apply to the challenges they face.
It is not the aim of this handbook to provide a monitoring method that is applicable in all contexts, nor to answer the question of how to regulate political finance in all countries. Rather, it is a collection of lessons learned and best practices in both established and transitional democracies, organized in the form of practical guidelines and discussions of key concepts. IFES hopes that the handbook will assist enforcement agencies in carrying out effective supervision of political finance in their own countries.
The handbook corresponds to training provided by IFES and is available with supplementary materials on a CD-Rom and on the IFES political finance website (www.moneyandpolitics.net)
