The more people involved in a project, the greater the risk of it falling prey to corruption. But you can't let perfect be the enemy of the good, so what trade-offs should you make when faced with the possibility of corruption? Abisola, who has a wide variety of experiences working with non-profits, will present a couple of scenarios for us to discuss together.

Recommended Readings

None of these readings are required, but they all help frame the discussion.

• Corruption: A Review, specifically Section 6 "Solutions and Remedies"
• The Greenbelt Scandal for a recent local example showing the organizations involved in preventing and catching corruption in Ontario
• The Optimal Amount of Fraud is Non-Zero for a perspective involving non-state actors

Location

Enter the Mars Atrium via University Avenue entrance. We'll meet at the food court in the basement. I'll be wearing a bright neon yellow jacket.

Detailed Directions to the Food Court

Enter from University Avenue and walk east until you see escalators. Take the escalators down. The food court is to the east of the escalators. If you are lost/confused, ask a security guard to direct you to the food court.
