Anti-Corruption Working Group
The AS/COA Anti-Corruption Working Group (AWG) is an action-oriented network focused on producing concrete results and contributing to the reduction of corruption in Latin America. The AWG navigates Latin America’s evolving anti-corruption movement by convening the region’s top corruption fighters and corporate leaders who are determined to see the historic crackdown on graft continue.
The AWG is open to and currently includes AS/COA corporate, Chairman’s International Advisory Council, Board of Directors, and President’s Circle members.
The AWG is funded by corporate members and foundations. AS/COA retains full editorial and content independence regarding all programming activities, research, advisory board membership and materials associated with the AWG.

"There has been a failure to reform the political system where corruption remains endemic," said AS/COA's Roberto Simon about Brazil and its position in the CCC Index.
Rather than measuring perceived levels of corruption, the CCC Index evaluates and ranks countries based on how effectively they are able to combat corruption.
Más que medir los niveles de percepción de corrupción, el Índice CCC evalúa y clasifica a los países basándose en cómo éstos efectivamente son capaces de combatir la corrupción.
Em vez de analisar os níveis de percepção da corrupção, o CCC Index avalia e classifica países de acordo com sua capacidade de combater a corrupção.
