ADB and OECD, co-secretariats of the Anti-Corruption Initiative for Asia and the Pacific (ACI), in collaboration with the Anti-Corruption Commission of Bhutan and the Royal Government of Bhutan, held the 2024 ACI regional seminar on 25-27 September 2024, in Thimphu, Bhutan. The seminar focused on government incentives for corporate anticorruption compliance and business integrity for Bhutan.

The seminar gathered experts from 18 member economies, including 57 international anticorruption experts and 96 national stakeholders from Bhutan, and representatives from civil society, international organizations, and the private sector.

Through the event, the Public Integrity Network discussed anticorruption strategies in Asia and the Pacific and technology for asset declarations and beneficial ownership transparency. The Law Enforcement Network also shared experiences on corruption offenses and investigation methods among law enforcement practitioners in the region.

Established in 1999, the ACI provides a regional forum for policymakers, practitioners, experts, and private sector representatives of its 34 member economies to exchange practices and experiences in anticorruption and business integrity.
