About
Launched in February 2018, the Transparency International Professional Supporters (TIPS) Network is a volunteer network of professionals, academics and students who are engaged in the anti-corruption sphere and support to advocacy and outreach efforts of Transparency International UK (TI-UK).
Today, the TIPS Network comprises over 550 individuals from more than a dozen fields (including law, consulting, accounting, finance, technology, industry, academia). Joining the growing TIPS community presents a unique opportunity to further your learning and engage with people in the anti-corruption space.
The TIPS Network is advised by TI-UK staff and independently managed by the TIPS Managing Committee, which comprises individuals from 3 Hare Court, Access Partnership, Ankura, FTI Consulting, Highgate, JS Held, Kroll, Mayer Brown, Mountford Chambers, Pinkerton, Unilever and the University of Sussex.
​
Please note: TIPS is run in support of the UK chapter of TI, Transparency International UK. All activities undertaken by and under the auspices of TIPS will take place in the UK.
What we do
The TIPS Network (i) educated those within and beyond the network about TI-UK's mission and facilitates discussion around corruption-related matters; and (ii) supports TI-UK's long-term mission through advocacy within and beyond our networks.
​
We do this by engaging influencers, raising awareness and inspiring young professionals through our core initiatives: Advocacy, Events and outreach.
