European Anti-Corruption Conference, Frankfurt Edition

Minimising Your Company’s Risk in an Era of Relentless Enforcement

Tuesday, January 26 to Thursday, January 28, 2010

C5’s European Anti-Corruption Conference is the must-attend event for Compliance Officers, General Counsel, Internal Auditors of multinational companies and their advisors. 150+ have attended our flagship Frankfurt event to network and hear the latest enforcement actions in Europe and best risks management strategies.

National European anti-corruption enforcement agencies have strengthened their investigations practices and have adopted a much more aggressive enforcement of national anti-corruption laws. Simply being an SEC deregistered company is no longer enough to escape tough local investigations and prosecutions. The Trommsdorff investigation case involving 480 doctors suspected of helping to sell medication in exchange for rewards from the pharmaceutical company Trommsdorff and the MAN investigation case involving 100 people on a probe of alleged bribery for procuring business, just demonstrate that German state prosecutors are very active and plan to increase their efforts by being more proactive in investigations.

Recent Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") cases involving conspiracy to violate the FCPA and bribes to government officials for lucrative oil contracts in Azerbaijan, have underscored the importance of due diligence and the priority both the US Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) give to enforcing the FCPA in the U.S and beyond.

As the international and multilateral cooperation, to enforece anti-corruption relautions, strenghens, every company, regardless of size, industry or country of operation, exposed to some degree of corruption risk shoud not only reassess and reinforce their compliance programmes but also master best practices to deal with internal investigations in compliance with fast changing data portection laws and privacy rights.

This is a testimony to the ever growing awareness of business for the fight against corruption, the need for good corporate practice and for the organizing of corporate integrity programs. Numerous speakers, from all segments of industry, explained in very concrete terms their genuine efforts to instill an integrity culture in their businesses, while international organisations asked for more and better cooperation with the private sector.”
