TRACE is a non-profit membership association that specializes in anti-bribery due diligence reviews and compliance training for international commercial intermediaries (sales agents and representatives, consultants, distributors, suppliers, etc.). TRACE member intermediaries are "pre-vetted" partners for multinational companies seeking to do business with entities that share their commitment to transparent business practices.

TRACE serves two types of business enterprises: commercial intermediaries and the multinational companies who retain their services. Intermediaries become members of TRACE through an extensive due diligence review process. Companies become members of TRACE and receive, among other things, due diligence reports on their current and prospective business intermediaries. All TRACE members commit to a high level of transparency in their commercial transactions..

TRACE maintains extensive "due diligence" files on its member intermediaries and provides these files to member companies. By maintaining one file designed to meet the anti-bribery compliance requirements of multinational companies, TRACE saves its member intermediaries the time and expense of having to respond to due diligence requests from each principal. For its member companies, TRACE provides a practical and cost effective solution to the burden of anti-bribery compliance.

TRACE member intermediaries must complete annual anti-bribery compliance training. To assist with this membership requirement, TRACE organizes anti-bribery workshops at locations around the world. Foreign-based employees and intermediaries of TRACE member companies attend TRACE workshops free of charge. TRACE workshops are supplemented with on-line training materials.
