Section 17A came into force on 1st June 2020, establishing strict liability for commercial organisations failing to establish the “adequate procedures” needed to prevent corruption being used to the advantage of the company. Prosecutions can target directors and top management, and have already begun.
This half-day online course explores how this new anti-corruption legislation works, what directors should be focusing on, and how anti-corruption compliance systems can be enhanced to maximise their effectiveness particularly through the use of advanced technology. International and local best practice for directors will also be considered, with case studies showing how companies have got it wrong before and red flags to look out for. The session includes facilitated discussion with other directors to explore how best to oversee the anti-corruption programme.
Learning Outcomes
- Recap on MACCA Section 17A and how directors can play their role well in managing corruption risk
- Identify innovative ways and new technologies to be used to monitor the anti-corruption programme
- Discuss the ideas of applying effective oversight for the programme
