Best Practices for Preventing Corruption & Bribery: Ensure compliance. Mitigate risk. Avoid infringement

A day rarely goes by without a corporate corruption story hitting the headlines and the need for a well-defined ethics and compliance programme has never been clearer. The UK government is now under increasing pressure to prosecute corruption cases, a new Bribery Bill is to be announced this Autumn and the Serious Fraud Office’s decision not to pursue the BAE Systems case is under continued scrutiny.
Attend Legal IQ’s Best Practices for Preventing Corruption & Bribery and you will leave knowing how to protect the reputation and share value of your company and safeguard your colleagues:

  • Interpret the implications of the UK’s upcoming Corruption Bill. The SEC and Transparency International explain how other jurisdictions are implementing the OECD’s standards on corruption and how the FCPA is being applied to European business practices
  • Satisfy all your stakeholders by incorporating your anti-corruption programme with your corporate governance objectives
  • Develop effective training programmes for colleagues, clients and suppliers to ensure all stakeholders understand and adhere to your ethical standards, as rolled out at Northrop Grumman and De Beers
  • Successfully handle an intrusive investigation situation with best practice from BAE Systems
  • Operating under a Deferred Prosecution Agreement: How Monsanto Company adapted their practices following prosecution by the Department of Justice
