Transparency International has released its ranking of corporate transparency of defense ... and no doubt some managers will read it carefully.

The non-governmental organization that fights against corruption in its report in 2012 that nearly two thirds of companies surveyed Defence are not transparent enough.

Thus, only ten of them are near the top categories, while 60 others fall into the latter two.

"Nearly half of them - 60 129 - provide very little evidence of the existence of systems to prevent corruption and the fact that they instill strong ethical values, which is their notes E and F " , the report says.
