Corporate Crimes and Professional Ethics – The Role of Anti – Corruption Laws in Bangladesh: A Study

Abstract

Abstract Corporate crimes and unethical practices in the corporate sector have become a pressing concern worldwide, including in Bangladesh. The lack of accountability and transparency in business operations has resulted in widespread corruption, hindering the country's economic growth and development. In response, various anti-corruption laws have been implemented to promote ethical behavior and prevent corporate crimes. However, the effectiveness of these laws remains questionable due to the persistent occurrence of unethical practices. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the correlation between corporate crimes, professional ethics, and the role of anti-corruption laws in Bangladesh. The study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of anti corruption laws in promoting ethical conduct and preventing corporate crimes and to offer recommendations for policymakers, regulatory authorities, and professionals to address the challenges and foster ethical business practices in Bangladesh
