Event Synopsis: An appropriate and effective compliance program to address corruption and to mitigate legal risks is essential for any company today. Compliance programs help to identify risks, offer guidelines on dealing with ambiguities, and help to identify and control misconduct. Often, corruption poses a more serious threat in terms of business development than it does for risk of prosecution. As an example, following a bribe, management may remain under the illusion that its offer is competitive. However, to be effective, all members of the company must be involved in an institutionalized anti-corruption program. This includes the Board of Directors who may view it as it as a legal issue and not as a strategic concern. At The Knowledge Group, Our panel of key thought leaders and practitioners will discuss The A-Z's of Anti-Corruption Compliance and help understand What You Need to Know in 2016 regarding Anti-Corruption enforcement, principles, guidelines, and programs and how to handle common pitfalls, risks, and compliance issues. Key topics include: § Anti-Corruption Compliance – An Overview § Anti-Corruption Enforcement Activities § Corporate Compliance Strategies § Revisiting Anti-Corruption Principles of Businesses § Internal and External Challenges § Developing an Anti-Corruption Ethics and Compliance Program § Regulatory Developments § Compliance and Litigation Risks § Best Practices About The Knowledge Group, LLC/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series The Knowledge Group was established with the mission to produce unbiased, objective, and educational live webinars that examine industry trends and regulatory changes from a variety of different perspectives.
