The break-out session enabled companies, NGOs and anti-corruption officials from over 31 countries to make concrete recommendations for future areas of focus. The event was rounded off by Heru Prasetyo of Indonesia Business Links who shared his hopes and fears for the future prospects for business integrity in the sector and the region.
