Benefits of Attending Best Practices for Preventing Corruption & Bribery

A day rarely goes by without a corporate corruption story hitting the headlines. Instilling a compliance programme across your organisation that addresses ethical behaviour and mitigates the risk of allegations of corruption and bribery is crucial. Not only to prevent your organisation being involved in the next big news story, but to satisfy shareholders that you have done everything possible to protect your corporate brand and protect share value should a scandal hit.

What will I take away from attending Best Practices for Preventing Corruption & Bribery?

• Avoid falling under the regulatory radar with critical updates on the current priorities and enforcement activity of the SEC from the Branch Chief at the Division of Enforcement
• Instil a compliant and risk aware culture throughout your organisation through training, top-down leadership and checks, as successfully accomplished by those heralded as leaders in this field, including Northrop Grumman and Tyco International
• Develop innovative tools to deal with corruption by moving beyond compliance measures as considered by Novo Nordisk working with Tiri
• Balance the risk of infringement against protracting your sales process and delaying commercial agreements when carrying out due diligence on intermediaries
• Avoid confusion and allegations with a clearly defined gifts and hospitality policy: How Transport for London meet with the increased level of scrutiny of operating in the public sector
• Manage the risks of working in high-risk territories with BT Global Services and Solar Turbines
• Successfully handle a US-style investigation into suspected FCPA breaches with real-life case studies from those with the high-profile war stories including Monsanto Company and BAE Systems
