Female owned businesses are more likely to suffer the impact of corruption than male owned businesses, as they are less likely to pay bribes to get regulatory services such as tax and business registration. They are perceived to be passive actors in the corruption process hence persons seeking bribe are less likely to request bribe from them. This leaves them vulnerable to cumbersome public regulatory processes and losing out in private business to business deals.

Compliance and integrity in companies not only affect reputation and the business environment. Managers act as role models and bear a great responsibility in terms of how integrity is lived and what values are established in the corporate culture.
