KEYNOTE: CEO Interview

Choose one morning & one afternoon session

Workshop A : Morning & Afternoon “Off the Record” Bribery Discussion Forum Due to popular industry demand, the ‘Off the Record’ bribery discussion forum is offered in both the morning and afternoon sessions. This is the ideal forum for you to ask questions and learn in an open and confidential environment. This forum will be lead by a totally independent facilitator and will bring together in-house counsel from across the regions from a range of industries to facilitate discussion and exchange information and ideas. This is a rare opportunity to genuinely discuss your compliance programmes.

Rules: Ru R ulle es: The forum is restricted to in-house counsel and compliance officers only and is not open to law firms, consultants, regulators or members of the press. Our facilitator will not take notes and will not be a person who is offering their services. The forum will not be recorded nor reported upon and participants will be asked to sign a confidentiality & competition agreement prior to entrance. Session size is limited in order to get an effective sharing platform. Book early to hold your place. Facilitated by: Alexandra Wrage, President, TRACE International

Workshop B Morning Anti-Bribery Policy Review & Benchmarking Workshop : Ever wondered what your competitors do? Don’t you wish you could see what other companies think of your policies? Are you consistent with others in your industry? Ever wanted guidance on how to improve your policies? Now is your chance to find out. Bring along your policies and procedures and take advantage of the opportunity to have them looked at by an expert panel.

Afternoon Practical Tips on Managing an Internal Investigation Workshop : Ever get the feeling during an in-house investigation that you can’t seem to ‘nail it’. There is something there – but no one is talking? This session is about the practicalities of what to do in that situation. Learn the ‘street guide’ on how to progress those stalled investigations.

Learn about one company that has truly taken a stance on Anti-Corruption and has actively engaged their leadership into taking a role in the Company’s FCPA and Anti-Corruption Programme. This is not a lawyer talking about their programme – this is a business leader talking about the importance of FCPA compliance in creating a stronger, more compliant business that attracts customers, shareholders and stakeholders worldwide.

US Companies Operating in Asia: Don’t Forget About the Local Laws

Local laws exist and are now being enforced more frequently frequently l right across Asia. In some cases local laws are more rigorous and onerous than the FCPA.
