Corruption in construction projects
online resource
posted on 2008-11-12, 11:23 authored by M. Sohail (Khan), Sue CavillRecently there has been an increase in international concern about the extent of corruption in the
construction industry. For example the American Society of Civil Engineers claim that corruption accounts
for an estimated $340,000,000,000 of worldwide construction costs each year. Corruption such as bribery,
embezzlement, kickbacks and fraud in construction projects undermines the benefits of infrastructure. This
paper documents how corruption affects construction projects and discusses the growing interest in
accountability in the delivery of construction projects. This paper is based on the initial findings of an ongoing
research project on anti-corruption practices for infrastructure services in a number of countries in
South Asia, Southern Africa, and Central Eastern Europe.
