Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New anti-corruption laws and intensified law enforcement - in particular, in Organization for Economic Co-operations and Development (OECD) Member States - are motivating companies to implement sound anti-corruption compliance programs. This will help reduce risk and may also serve as a business tool. Yet, companies are increasingly voicing the need for a harmonized approach to compliance. The OECD Guidance, enacted in 2010, may well serve as a template for such a standard, since it has been adopted by the Member States of the OECD by unanimity. This book gives an introduction to anti-corruption compliance and the OECD standards in particular. It will help managers and other corporate practitioners identify the needs for their company and know what to ask for.

Written by renowned accounting fraud experts Richard A. Sibery and Brian P. Loughman, and providing an introduction and overview of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and international bribery laws, Bribery and Corruption considers: How to conduct FCPA risk assessments and investigations How to consider FCPA specific financial controls How to implement an FCPA compliance program and how to measure FCPA compliance The risk of bribery and corruption continues to be an area of concern for companies around the world, but armed with Bribery and Corruption, it is easier than ever to understand the challenges that exist and how to deal with them.

Download or read book Preventing Corporate Corruption written by Stefano Manacorda and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the results of a two-year international research project conducted for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNDOC) to investigate and provide solutions for reducing bribery and corruption in corporations and institutions. It starts with an empirical case study on the effectiveness of a set of self-regulation rules adopted by multinational companies in the energy sector. Second, it explores the context and factors leading to corruption internationally (and the relationships between domestic criminal law and self-regulation). Third, it examines guidelines for the adoption of compliance programs developed by international institutions, to serve as models for the future. The principle result of the book is a three-pronged Anti-Bribery Corruption Model (so called ABC Model), endorsed by the United Nations, intended as a corruption prevention tool intended to be adopted by private corporations. This work provides a common, research-based standard for anti-bribery compliance programs, with international applications. This work will be of interest to researchers studying Criminology and Criminal Justice, particularly in the areas of organized crime and corruption, as well as related areas like Business Ethics and Comparative International Law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compliance with anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws is always a critical piece of any compliance program. In today's environment, with global economies emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic and facing issues with inflation, supply chains and labor, this area is particularly challenging. Aggressive enforcement of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, a growing web of country-specific anti-corruption legislation and increasing cross-border cooperation by enforcement authorities continues to create risk for companies and keeps compliance professionals on their toes.In this chapter, slated for publication in the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics's annual Compliance and Ethics Manual, we provide an overview of the legal landscape surrounding anti-corruption/anti-bribery laws, highlighting a few of the most prominent national and international regimes. We also provide a series of best practices and considerations for developing a compliance program that effectively addresses risk and complies with legal requirements. Finally, we share our observations on emerging trends and recent developments in the anti-corruption/anti-bribery space.
Download or read book Putting Effective Anti Corruption Compliance Programs Into Practice written by Vijay Sampath and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global anti-corruption enforcement activity focuses on sanctioning organizations and individuals for violating anti-corruption laws. As part of the sentencing process, regulators have emphasized remediation efforts companies must undertake so that violations are proactively detected before they occur. For these purposes, companies have to institute and maintain effective compliance programs that evolve with changing laws and business conditions globally. Drawing from resolved enforcement actions and guidance provided by regulators, I examine best practices to achieve an effective compliance program. As an overarching point, I believe it is imperative for companies to leverage the most current technology solutions to implement an effective compliance program. I discuss the components and functionality of an integrated technology solution designed for anti-corruption compliance.

Download or read book The Transnationalization of Anti Corruption Law written by Régis Bismuth and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-05-27 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last twenty years have witnessed an astonishing transformation: the fight against corruption has grown from a handful of local undertakings into a truly global effort. Law occupies a central role in that effort and this timely book assesses the challenges faced in using law as it too morphs from a handful of local rules into a global regime. The book presents the perspectives of a global array of scholars, of policy makers, and of practitioners. Topics range from critical theoretical understandings of the global regime as a whole, to regional and local experiences in implementing and influencing the regime, including specific legal techniques such as deferred prosecution agreements, addressing corruption issues in dispute resolution, whistleblower protection, civil and administrative prosecutions, as well as blocking statutes. The book also includes discussions of the future shape of the global regime, the emergence of transnational compliance standards, and discussions by leaders of international organizations that take a leading role in the transnationalization of anti-corruption law. The Transnationalization of Anti-Corruption Law deals with the most salient aspects of the global anti-corruption regime. It is written by people who contribute to the structure of the regime, who practice within the regime, and who study the regime. It is written for anyone interested in corruption or corruption control in general, anyone with a general interest in jurisprudence or in international law, and especially anyone who is interested in critical thinking and analysis of how law can control corruption in a global context.

This book was released on 2012-04-10 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide to addressing the challenges managers face in implementing and enforcing new anti-bribery regulations The Bribery Act became the law of the land in July 2011. It abolished all existing U.K. anti-bribery laws and replaced them with a suite of new regulations decidedly different and more strenuous than what has come before. Under it companies found noncompliant will be open to billions in penalties and remediation costs, and managers will be open to prosecution if anyone associated with their company commits an offence covered by the act. As employees in nearly all departments will share responsibility for ensuring that adequate procedures are in place and enforced, there is a screaming need for practical, jargon-free guidance on the subject. This book fills that need. It arms managers and advisors with the knowledge and tools they need to implement, communicate and test controls and procedures that not only comply with but exceed the new anti-bribery requirements. It also offers priceless pointers on how to effectively react to bribery allegations if and when they occur. Packed with takeaway tips and checklists that put crucial information at readers' fingertips Written by a chartered accountant and compliance expert, the book offers practical steps managers should take to guarantee company compliance Describes best practices in anti-bribery and corruption compliance in all key business areas, including accounting, sales and marketing, management, legal, and internal auditing

Download or read book How to Establish and Operate an Anti Corruption Compliance Program in Emerging Markets written by Gonenc Gurkaynak and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compliance program, a tool which will enable companies to detect, deter and prevent any non-compliance with the applicable laws must be culturally adapted to the environment it will be implemented in. While there is some guidance on what the core elements of a compliance program should be, it should still be flexible enough to adapt to the changes that each jurisdiction brings with it in order to ensure a successful outcome. The importance of this flexibility can be clearly observed when a multinational company exports its business to different jurisdictions, e.g. emerging markets, where differing aspects of legal rules, enforcement and business culture come to light. Therefore, in order for a compliance program to work in different jurisdictions, adaptation of the compliance program to the sensitivities of the jurisdiction at hand becomes the foremost issue.
