2^nd India Summit on Anti-Corruption

Monday, October 17 to Tuesday, October 18, 2011

Vivanta by Taj - President, Mumbai

Recent corruption scandals including the telecoms case make it clear that corruption remains a serious problem in India. Excessive red tape, the heavy presence of state-owned firms, and the frequent use of third parties for routine matters such as tax and customs all increase exposure to complex bribery risks. In the last few years, many U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement actions have involved government officials in India and a number of companies, most recently Kraft Foods, have publicly announced investigations involving improper payments in India. With the accelerating number of investigations and prosecutions under the FCPA, implementation of new anti-corruption legislation in the U.K, and introduction of the Foreign Bribery Bill in India, now is the time to review and update your anti-corruption compliance and training programs and gain greater control over employees and third parties.

Back by popular demand, ACI’s India Anti-Corruption Summit, will feature a brand new and more advanced agenda that will provide the latest insights on anti-corruption enforcement initiatives in India, the US and UK, India-specific compliance strategies and unparalleled networking and benchmarking opportunities. Gain practical insights from a senior-level group of your peers from companies including Tata Steel, Siemens, Bharti Airtel Limited, General Electric, Dell, Barclays, Monsanto, Microsoft and many more, and walk away with compliance strategies you can immediately employ on the ground to minimize your company’s exposure to bribery risks in India.

The 2011 agenda features an exceptional line up of senior anti-corruption attorneys, compliance executives and forensic accountants from India, the US, and Europe and new keynote speakers from organizations including the World Bank, Transparency International and I-Paid-a-Bribe.
