Dealing with Anti-Corruption Laws and Whistleblower Rules - Corporate Governance Training Package (3 Courses)

In an era of strong anti-corruption laws and whistleblower protection, it is necessary to ensure proper, compliant corporate governance processes. Enterprises that ignore these laws and turn a blind-eye to corporate malfeasance have been heavily penalized by regulatory authorities.

This package of three webinar CD recordings addresses compliance strategies to deal with the FCPA, UK Bribery Act and the SEC's new whistleblower rules.

How It Works:

Each webinar CD has a series of modules. Our speakers have delivered the modules using PowerPoint slides.

This training is convenient to attend individually or in groups. You don't have to travel from your office. This means you can afford to have your whole team attend. As the webinar recording CDs are licensed to be used multiple times in a location, you can schedule the training as many times for as many groups/batches as you wish. Your team members will learn the material together; everybody will get the same information.

Webinar Topics:

• Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Webinar
• Preparing for the UK Bribery Act
• The SEC's New Whistleblower Rules: Implications for your Company's Compliance and Fraud Program
