Yes / We develop a theoretical framework exploring firm corruption accounting for interactions with an auditor who provides auditing and other services. A multiplicity of equilibria can exist including stable corruption and auditor controlled corruption. Whilst fining the auditor cannot eliminate all corruption, fining the firm can, but marginal increases in this fine can also have perverse effects. Investing in corruption detection may be effective in deterring auditor corruption but ineffective in deterring firm corruption. Policy effectiveness is highly dependent upon several factors which may be hard to observe in practice making general rules about policy interventions to address corruption very difficult.

This study sought to examine whether pressure from China’s dynamic, yet repressed, civil society had any impact on the Chinese state’s anti-corruption strategies. It was discovered that online activism in China has been on the rise in recent years, and this activism has been working in tandem with the government to monitor public and private corruption, exposing numerous cases online. Increasing trends of online activism seem to be leading to an augmented government anti-corruption strategy that is sensitive to issues exposed on the Internet and to public opinion. As the government sought to shore up its credibility, it was able to harness this wave of public participation to work towards its own ends. Recent reforms in China have attempted to institute public surveillance and monitoring as a central part of the government’s anti-corruption efforts. By illuminating the changing institutional design of the anti-corruption agencies within the Party and the government since the 1990s, this study found that the most recent campaign to rally pubic participation was sincere as the goal of clean government and limited corruption benefit both the government and Chinese society. However, the current anti-corruption regime still has engrained problems and conflicts of interest. Until public surveillance is fully developed and there are more democratic checks and balances, this study does not predict that corruption will be eliminated in China in the near future. / published_or_final_version / China Development Studies / Master / Master of Arts in China Development Studies
