Shearman & Sterling LLP

The G20 published its Anti-Corruption Action Plan for 2017-2018 and called on countries to implement the United Nations Convention against Corruption. The G20 established the Anti-Corruption Working Group in 2010, a body which is guided by rolling two-year action plans. The new Action Plan outlines areas of priority for the G20 and the Working Group, which amongst other things, include seeking to promote concrete and practical action to achieve enforcement of anti-corruption laws by taking steps to improve co-operation between law enforcement and other relevant authorities within and between member countries, implementing the Financial Action Task Force Recommendations on Transparency and Beneficial Ownership of Legal Persons and continuing to focus on combatting bribery and exploring the possible adherence of all G20 countries to the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. The Working Group has been tasked with preparing a more detailed implementation plan, so that progress with the priorities can be tracked. It will report in 2017, on progress in implementing the commitments.
