Abstract: The seemingly unsolvable corruption problem pervades all nations. It is a concern for governments and corporations, and of course international agencies. Many counties have created laws and enforcement agencies to cope with corruption and to cooperate with international agencies. Obviously, corruption has far-reaching, negative consequences; it decays the stability and security of societies, undermines our institutions, devalues democracy, deteriorates important values and justice, jeopardises sustainable development, and weakens the rule of law. Realising the seriousness of problems and dangers, the United Nations commemorates International Anti-corruption Day¹ on December 9th to highlight the presence and impact of the United Nations Convention against Corruption. This convention acknowledges that corruption is not solely a local matter but is transnational and influences all societies and economies.

Keywords: corruption; anti-corruption; offender; transparency; preventive measures; Vietnam.
