Myanmar faces critical corruption risk throughout its defence apparatus. Civilian democratic control is extremely limited and the military is largely beyond the reach of civilian institutions. Oversight and transparency are extremely limited, financial management is highly opaque and there is little clarity around corruption controls for personnel and operations.
