Issues with corruption varied around the world, but no geographical area was immune to it, according to CHEA/CIQG’s study.

While corruption was widely present, quality assurance groups were more aware of specific types of corruption in some countries — such as Russia, Nigeria, India and those in the Western Balkans — than in more developed countries, according to the report.
