Corruption is a global concern, and in Brazil there is a need for constant improvement of the instruments used to fight this evil. Anti-corruption compliance, present in Law 12.846/13, awakens the importance of a paradigm shift in public-private relations, especially from the perspective of regulated self-regulation. However, the institute has been criticized and discredited due to the recurrent corruption scandals, especially given the opportunities for fraud brought by the Covid-19 pandemic. Utilizing Jürgen Habermas approach on ethics, this article, using the deductive method, with bibliographic and documentary analysis, aims to contribute to a legal-sociological approach of anti-corruption compliance in Brazil, to give it greater effectiveness in disseminating the culture of integrity. As a result, this paper finds that the implementation of compliance programs based on latent strategic action cancels out their preventive nature, which is counterproductive to the development of compliance pillars in an environment of trust and transparency, which permits the participation of all those involved, reaching thus, cooperation in the control of corruption.
