Anti-Corruption Compliance in High Risk Markets

In the last year, anti-corruption enforcement actions have involved business activities in Mexico, China, India, Nigeria, Brazil, Russia and other markets considered “high risk”. At the same time, new anti-bribery laws and enforcement tools have spread across the globe promising to raise the stakes for multinationals. These developments make it clear that anti-corruption enforcement is here to stay and will affect more companies doing business in high risk markets than ever before.

What constitutes a high risk partner in India versus Brazil? How do you detect demand side corruption schemes in Nigeria or Russia? What does the investigative process look like in China as opposed to Brazil? How do you train employees to identify and report red flags in Ukraine versus Venezuela? These questions and others require multinationals to rethink anti-corruption compliance and adopt a more local approach to effectively respond to bribery risks.

That’s why American Conference Institute’s 3rd Global Forum on Anti-Corruption Compliance in Emerging Markets is designed to provide practical, country-specific guidance on screening third-parties, preventing gift s and entertainment pitfalls, working with joint venture partners, conducting internal investigations and other critical anti-bribery issues.
