Dexis (through Checchi and Company Consulting, a former subsidiary of Dexis now consolidated works to improve government accountability at both the national and local levels by strengthening oversight mechanisms and incorporating and acting on commitments to the Open Government Partnership and other integrity frameworks. In addition to assisting national anti-corruption agencies and audit institutions, we also work with local governments to build public trust. We pursue opportunities to increase public participation and work closely with civil society to develop evidence-based advocacy for integrity-focused policies, regulations, and laws. We also support investigative reporting journalists and media oversight.

We have also supported the strengthening of procurement regulations. At the intersection of good governance and economic development, we have mobilized stakeholders from the private sector, civil society, and the government around the goal of reducing rent-seeking and the informal costs of doing business.
