January 14: Webcast - Global Anti-Corruption Update: Enforcement and Compliance Trends

2013 was an active year for anti-corruption enforcement with allegations or investigations involving some of the largest companies in the world. Regulators such as the DOJ and SEC continue to aggressively to enforce provisions of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Globally, the risks of doing business in some overseas markets remain pervasive. Extraterritorial laws such as the U.K Bribery Act, international coordination between regulators, and new whistleblower laws have forced companies and their counsel to reassess corporate policies in order to minimize the risk of liability.
Join our webcast on January 14, 2014 for an experienced panel of anti-corruption compliance and legal practitioners that will cover the key trends shaping enforcement. Informed by findings in a recent survey of general counsel and compliance officers at global companies, our panel will provide practical views on how companies can meet the challenges associated with corruption and bribery.
The panel will specifically address:

• Global anti-corruption enforcement trends
• Best practices for establishing and updating effective compliance programs
• Impact of new whistleblower rules
• Third-party risk assessments
• Corruption issues related to M&A
