Switzerland Asessment
Switzerland Country BriefSwitzerland faces low corruption risk across its defence institutions, owing to strong parliamentary control over the sector, and effective internal and external scrutiny of military expenditure. Robust and transparent personnel and financial management processes are further safeguards to corruption, although whistleblowing remains an issue as do weak anti-corruption measures for operations.
