The ICAC will issue a new anti-graft guidebook to building managers, after corruption complaints against them have risen steadily in the past three years.

The book warns building managers about possible corruption risks, lists the relevant laws, and provides a code of conduct for owners' corporations and other management bodies.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption received 933 complaints about building management last year, compared with 809 in 2002 and 696 in 2001.

Of the corruption reports received last year, 753 were pursuable. There were 661 and 570 pursuable cases in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

In the first quarter of this year, 155 of the 199 complaints received were pursuable.

But there were only 15 prosecutions relating to corrupt building management practices last year, compared with 26 cases in 2002 and 18 cases in 2001.
