Working Hand-in-Hand with Developing Nations

The Marx Group consultants work hand-in-hand with national and operating agency officials to create processes and controls that reflect local customs and adhere to national laws and regulations while aligning with international best practices. This in-country context is critical to local ownership of the results.

The Marx Group consultant teams consist of experts in acquisition and procurement, transparency, anti-corruption, controls, finance, business process engineering and global investment.

The Marx Group transparency model supports the principles and criteria of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) which sets a global standard for transparency in oil, gas and mining. While EITI focuses primarily on post-award financial transparency and accountability of funds, the Marx Group transparency model encompasses a broader context and includes the openness of all activities beginning with tender planning and extending to award of contracts and subsequent program operations.

Importantly, the Marx Group transparency model includes independent validation that demonstrates adherence to the transparency processes and standards employed by the national government or operating agencies involved.
