Event Overview
Anti-corruption enforcement around the globe is continuing to heat up. The US currently has 50 investigations under way and in Europe there are now more than a 100. This increased focus has added to the urgency for many companies to get their anti-corruption, compliance and ethics programmes working effectively.
It's no surprise considering the fact that a companies preventative measures, or lack of have a direct relation to the severity of penalty incurred.
Fines have been seen to escalate into the 10's of millions and senior executives have even faced prison sentences. But the costs don't stop there. Once a company has come under investigation they will have to launch an internal investigation of their own which in itself could cost millions. On top of this is the risk of reputational damage which can have a dramatic effect on stakeholder perceptions and cause signicant loss of business.
