TO BE PUBLISHED WITH THE JUNE 2014 ISSUE OF IFLR INDUSTRY POLL SERIES MANAGING CROSS-BORDER RISK FOR IN-HOUSE COUNSEL
Anti-corruption Guest edited by A guide to navigating anti-corruption laws in unfamiliar markets After years of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act as one of the only heavily enforced extraterritorial anti-corruption regulations, 2013 saw jurisdictions globally passing and enforcing new regimes. The increasing focus on anti-corruption has prompted a new focus on compliance measures, such as training programmes and whistleblower processes. But it has also raised questions about anti-corruption laws in emerging markets, with one of 2013 s biggest developments seeing China s anti-corruption regulator enforcing against bribery by multinational pharmaceutical company GSK. So companies managing anti-corruption risks now need to understand regulations in unfamiliar jurisdictions; compliance systems and processes must be consistent with local regulatory requirements. IFLR s inaugural Anti-Corruption Survey will provide clarification on best practice for complying with anti-corruption regulations. Conducted on a global basis, it will offer insight into idiosyncrasies in current practice in the markets that matter most. Guest edited by Debevoise & Plimpton partner Andrew Levine, the results will be published as a dedicated supplement with the June issue of IFLR. The guide will provide readers with: Jurisdictional colour coded rating At-a-glance overview of each featured jurisdiction Highlighting significant local implementation factors Facilitating an easy comparison of territories Contributions from local law experts Concise guidance on local law See overleaf for your invitation Expert analysis from leading international practitioners See right for confirmed contributors Andrew Levine Debevoise & Plimpton, US Confirmed contributors Matthew Getz Debevoise & Plimpton UK Philip Rohlik Debevoise & Plimpton Hong Kong Srirak Pilpat Transparency International Asia-Pacific Regional director Stephen Zimmerman World Bank Integrity division Director of operations Cecilia Malmström European Commission Commissioner of Home Affairs PREVIOUS IFLR SURVEY CONTRIBUTORS
