The formal institutional practice to curbing corruption
was initiated in Bangladesh thorough a long evolution of system.
Formation of Enforcement Branch of Anti-Corruption was
officially recognized many years before the countrys

Department and as such, in 1944, the Enforcement Branch was
formed in the Police Department to fight such corruption
Principles of Management
Anti-Corruption
The first Act against corruption was made in 1947 under the title
of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
As there was no investigating agency other than the police, under
the Act, certain offences were declared as offences of corruption
and those were made cognizable for the police to investigate.
The Police Department was entrusted to investigate such
corruption cases until the establishment of the Bureau of AntiCorruption in 1957.

Looking Forward
The ACC intends to adopt the demand side approach to citizens centric
governance reform empowering citizens to monitor, audit and report on the
performance of public agencies.
Stimulate society to move from a culture of acceptance of corruption to
rejection of corruption.
Minimize Conflict of Interests.
The motivation to earn easy way income is still extremely strong. Thus a Role
Model is required in each office who will act as a living legend of Ethics.
Show zero tolerance to rent seeking behavior.
Comprehensive regulation is needed because the discretion of many public
officials is unrestricted and this systemic weakness is intensified by poorly
defined, ever changing, and poorly disseminated rules and regulations.
