In recent years, there have been a growing number of multinational companies in emerging markets which suffer significant financial losses and reputational damage as a result of bribery, corruption, employee fraud and a lack of regulatory compliance or internal controls.
Join us as we navigate various key issues on how to prevent and mitigate the associated risks as well as on what practical steps your organisation should or should not take in conducting its own internal investigations both locally and regionally in the unfortunate event that it is a victim of bribery, corruption or employee fraud. We will take you on a full journey from providing an in-house perspective on internal investigation, exploring Court decisions made in the Asia Pacific region which will guide your organisation as to how (and how not to) conduct investigations, to identifying common risk areas in the local context of Singapore's anti-bribery and corruption laws, which will enable your organisation to craft and implement an effective anti-corruption policy for your business.
