, SECTION A QUESTION 1 The detection or identification of corruption is
essential if prevention is to be successful. Discuss any ten (10) “red flag”
indicators (warnings) that indicate the presence of conditions conducive to
corruption. [10] SECTION B: ESSAY FORMAT NOTE: Be sure to read your
Tutorial Letter 301 for the guidelines on how to write an essay, as well as the
SCHJALL/301/4/2023 tutorial letter containing the standardised referencing
style and notes on plagiarism and paraphrasing BEFORE starting this
question. NOTE: Be sure not to only use the study guide to complete your
essay but to also consult other sources. At 3rd year level you need to display
more knowledge and skills. Also DO NOT just copy word-for-word from the
study guide, otherwise you will not receive any marks for it. You need to show
that you can do research and interpret what you read.
Certainly, I can provide you with a discussion of ten red flag
indicators that can indicate the presence of conditions conducive to
corruption. Please note that this is a general discussion, and you
may need to provide more context or specific examples in your
essay. Additionally, make sure to conduct further research to
expand on these points and use proper referencing as per the
guidelines provided in your course materials.
1. Lack of Transparency: When there is a lack of transparency in
government or corporate operations, it becomes difficult to track
financial transactions and decision-making processes. This opacity
can create an environment where corrupt practices can thrive.
2. Unexplained Wealth: Sudden and unexplained wealth among
public officials or employees can be a red flag. If individuals are
living beyond their means or acquiring significant assets without a
clear source of income, it may suggest corruption.
3. Bribery and Kickbacks: The presence of bribery and kickbacks,
where individuals are paid or receive favors in exchange for making
decisions or providing preferential treatment, is a clear indicator of
corruption.
4. Weak Regulatory Oversight: When regulatory agencies lack the
resources or independence to monitor and enforce compliance with
laws and regulations, it can foster a culture of corruption.
