	Corruption Perceptions Index - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Since 1995, Transparency International has published an annual Index of perception of corruption ordering the countries of the world according to "the degree to which corruption is perceived to exist among public officials and politicians".
		As this index is based on polls, the results are subjective and are less reliable for countries with fewer sources.
		Also, what is legally defined, or perceived, to be corruption differs between jurisdictions: a political donation legal in some jurisdiction may be illegal in another; a matter viewed as acceptable tipping in one country may be viewed as bribery in another.

	TI Bangladesh: Corruption Perceptions Index 2001
		The TI Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) this year ranks 91 countries in terms of the degree to which corruption is perceived to exist among public officials and politicians.
		TI’s experience suggests that corruption, particularly for those countries who had scored poorly, remains a major problem, as it does for many others that are not included in the 2000 CPI because of insufficient available data.
		Since fundamental changes in the levels of corruption in a country evolve only slowly, while public perceptions may change more swiftly and be influenced to some extent by short-term events, TI determined to base the CPI on a three-year rolling average.

	Transparency International - TI-Z - Press release
		Perceptions of levels of corruption do not change greatly from one year to the next.
		TIZ has always stressed that corruption is not just the product of public officials taking bribes (the corruption aspect highlighted in the CPI), which is widely seen to be particularly serious in many developing countries like Zimbabwe and countries in transition, as again reflected in the CPI 2000.
		To correct this impression and to highlight the bribe-giving side of the corruption coin pursued by international corporations and domestic businesses, TI published a Bribe Payers Index (BPI) last year and a detailed set of survey results on perceptions of bribe paying in January of this year.

		The index of particular interest for this study is the Corruption Perceptions Index (Transparency International CPI, 2003).
		These conclusions suggest that corruption may act as a substitute for fair business practices and a well-enforced legal environment, especially in societies in which a large gap is perceived to exist between the degree of uncertainty avoidance desired (valued) and the uncertainty avoidance provided by the legal structure on commercial and public sector activities (practice).
		That is, if indeed, low uncertainty avoidance is a precursor of the possibility of corrupt practices, perhaps the initial act of any manager should be to carry out an investigation of the extent to which policies and procedures within the firm are sufficient to deal with the possibility of unethical corporate behavior.
