Siemens, Tyco, Ferring Pharmaceuticals to speak at Anti-Corruption conference in Prague, March 2010

Jan. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- Acquiring new companies, expanding in to new markets, doing business with foreign governments or engaging 3rd parties, sales agents and distributors can expose a business to significant regulatory risk. Recent research across Europe has shown that companies will be increasingly exposed to Fraud & Corruption in 2010. One of the key drivers for this will be the current economic conditions. With recent news of bribery investigations in Hungary, Corporate Fraud and Corruption is taking center stage in Central & Eastern Europe. While many companies boast of having Ethics & Anti-Corruption compliance programs, they may always not be effective especially when operating in less transparent Jurisdictions like Eastern Europe, Russia, Kazakhstan & other CIS countries.

This unique event will feature practical case study presentations from Chief Compliance Officers, General Counsels, Heads of Internal Audit and Fraud Investigation experts. The conference will give you practical insights on Anti-Corruption compliance across a wide jurisdiction including Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Greece, Balkans, Russia & CIS
