OECD Anti-Corruption Compliance Roundtable

 Recent enforcement activity has highlighted the significance of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. As we approach its 10th Anniversary,  McKenna Long & Aldridge is hosting an OECD Anti-Corruption Compliance Roundtable to discuss the impact the Convention has had, and will continue to have, on the global business environment.

The Roundtable discussion will explore the working components and practical aspects of the Convention and focus on the following topics:

• Actions by State Party governments, companies and major emerging economies. 
• Governmental investigations and prosecutions to detect, prevent and sanction foreign bribery. What has changed?
  
  
• What are global companies doing -- the costs and benefits of compliance and corporate governance.
  
  
• Recent significant increase in aggressive enforcement activity and cooperation between investigating governmental bodies, in particular in the US and the EU, leading to parallel enforcement actions.
  
  
• Are there now international standards? What remains to be done to improve awareness and effectiveness.
  
  
• What government and non-government partnerships have been formed (or need to be formed) to monitor foreign bribery risk, especially in corruption-prone areas.
  
  
• Identification of best practices and strategies to facilitate and enhance international co-operation based on the worldwide commitments to fight corruption.
