12:50 p.m.
A global anti-corruption summit is extracting a plethora of promises from nations to open up corporate records, quash money laundering and end bribery in public contracts.
But the results are mixed, with many countries failing to commit to the toughest actions sought by British Prime Minister David Cameron.
In a communique published during Thursday’s meeting, participants say tackling corruption is “a top priority, at home and abroad.” Attendees promise to “uncover corruption wherever it exists, and to pursue and punish those who perpetrate, facilitate or are complicit in it.”
