New Book on Corruption by Dr Owusu Kingsford and Prof. Albert Chan

Authored by Dr Owusu Emmanuel Kingsford, Postdoctoral Fellow of BRE and Prof. Albert Chan, Chair Professor and Head of BRE, a new book, 'Corruption In Infrastructure Procurement', was released in October 2020. Representing an extensive study on the extant constructs of corruption in infrastructure-related projects, this book. published by the Taylor & Francis Group and sponsored by the Institute of Hong Kong Surveyors, contributes to determination of the incidence and prevalence of corruption in infrastructure projects and its ultimate elimination.   Dealing with the subject of corruption has never been easy regardless of the institution, context, or discipline being studied. However, with the immense help and contributions from supranational institution experts, including the World Bank, the United Nations, and other reputable international organizations such as the Global Infrastructure Anti-Corruption Center (GIACC), most anticipated difficulties were largely overcome. These experts helps to pilot test the questions and indicators that were being examined. Dr Owusu says, "The study was successful thanks to their contributions and efforts and those of other experts from over nineteen countries who participated in the international survey."   With the aim of making a quantitative assessment of the constructs of corruption and the activities within the procurement process of infrastructure-related works, this book serves as the first module of a series of other developing modules that intends to demonstrate how the application of extant technologies such as smart contracts and machine learning can be deployed to substitute human decision making and influences in the procurement process, enhance transparency and curb corruption and other contractual irregularities within the process.   Have a read of Prof. Albert Chan's Profile: Ir Prof Albert PC CHAN Have a read of Dr. Owusu Kingsford's Profile: Dr Emmanuel Kingsford Owusu
