One Day Seminar: Practical Roadmap to Developing an Effective Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Program

INTRODUCTION
Corruption and bribery are major obstacles to the development and successful operation of an organisation. Organisations are increasingly expected to communicate to their stakeholders, internally and externally, the measures and efforts they are deploying to counter and detect corruption and bribery. It is also of great importance that organisations put in place and review their anti-corruption and anti-bribery policies and procedures to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.
