                                    The Cost and the Opportunity

Let’s start with the big picture. The World Bank estimates that annually bribery alone
costs the world about one trillion dollars in direct economic loss.

That’s
every year.

By simple extrapolation we can safely assume that the world’s losses from all forms of
malfeasance, wrongdoing and corruption are at least three trillion dollars -
$3,000,000,000,000 - a year. And if you have a problem picturing this much cash,
imagine 600 railway cars creaking under 30,000 tons of $100 bills. For comparison,
$50,000 is just half a kilo (about a pound)... These $3 trillion – amount larger than the
GDP of France or Germany – are simply wasted every year. You could as well picture
those hundreds of rail cars burning at your favorite railway station…

Meanwhile just one tenth of this amount, a still whopping $300 billion (nearly the GDP of
Argentina) could feed all hungry, re-build a few poor countries like Haiti or Afghanistan,
save tropical forests or even reverse global warming in our lifetime. Name your cause
and, if money can solve it at all, it can be solved with an annual infusion of 300 billion
dollars …Which is, again, only 1/10th of the money lost every year due to bribery,
malfeasance and abuse.

Can we turn this $3,000,000,000,000 a year problem into a $3,000,000,000,000
opportunity? - Yes, but not with noise, red tape, and prisons, the way we’ve always tried.
Here is why: ask yourself the following three questions:

1) How many additional auditors, detectives, prosecutors, and various watchdogs (to
police the policemen, etc.) do we need to defeat corruption and malfeasance in the
entire world? Please count for both the government agencies and the private sector -
remember Enron and WorldCom?
2) How much would such a “Global War on Corruption” cost?
3) If the funding for the “war” were to end on the day of corruption’s defeat, how long
would the results of the victory last?

We posed these questions to professionals in the fields of law-enforcement and
compliance management, and their answers came to:

1)  The War on Corruption will require tens of millions of additional people;  
2)  It'll cost hundreds of billions of dollars a year in additional funding;  
3)  The victory may not last more than a week - just like jealousy and greed, corruption is
a self-creating, self-sustaining phenomenon…

Do you like the answers? The numbers sound realistic, and the goal is very worthy of
that investment, yet the answers of the experts show the insanity of the traditional
approach to fighting corruption: who can employ millions of people and spend countless
billions upfront for such a fleeting victory? What can poor governments do?

Here is an idea: they can read the rest of this page, because we came with radically
different answers:

1) The victory over corruption won't need a single additional person;
2) It won't need an additional penny;
3) It will last forever.

Okay, you have to be skeptical: if you've ever fought corruption and malfeasance (and
we have), you know that all conventional anti-corruption and compliance methods are
either expensive or ineffective, or both. Even transparency - the cornerstone of modern
anti-corruption campaigns - requires competent people to dig through mountains of data
released into the open, unambiguously show malfeasance, and then have a voice
powerful enough to demand and get appropriate changes. That's why anti-corruption
experts everywhere expect only a slow, arduous progress in fighting corruption.

It need not be this way.  If you look at malfeasance and corruption closely, most of the
time they result from the failure of administrative systems to control selfish
entrepreneurial urges of people.  These entrepreneurial urges are rooted in people’s
self-interest and cannot be permanently removed by more prosecutors, technology or
education. No matter how strongly suppressed, in the long run the selfish
entrepreneurship (often called “capitalism") wins every time.

However we designed a proprietary management system that harnesses people's
selfishness and peer-pressure - the same factors that normally lead to malfeasant
entrepreneurship - and directs them toward eliminating waste, fraud and abuse of all
kinds.  By working with people’s self-interest, instead of against it, this system quickly
shrinks all wrongdoing while creating unexpectedly tidy savings and profits.
