According to Transparency International, a global movement against corruption, understanding corruption is the first step in fighting it.
But what is corruption? Corruptie.org, another anti-corruption organisation, simply defines corruption as the misuse of entrusted power (by heritage, education, marriage, election, appointment or whatever else) for private gain. This broad definition covers not only the politician and the public servant, but also the CEO and CFO of a company, the notary public, the team leader at a workplace, the administrator or admissions officer, and so on.
