C5’s Fifth Edition of
Anti-Corruption France
13th May 2014
InterContinental Paris- Avenue Marceau, France
In 2012 the OECD Working Group on bribery recommended that France strengthen its measures to combat bribery of foreign public officials. Although the French Penal Code provides for the sanction of acts of bribery, only five convictions were handed down in a twelve year period. Despite the “lacklustre response of the authorities” (OECD 23/10/2012), companies must remain vigilant to corruption risks or face serious financial, prosecutorial and reputational damage.
France’s largest oil producer, Total, exemplifies the devastating sanctions imposed by the US Department of Justice. Companies must be alert to the wide jurisdictional reach of both the FCPA and the UK Bribery Act.
C5’s Fifth Edition of Anti-Corruption France is a compact one day event which bringing together a leading faculty of experienced in-house and private practice lawyers, risk officers, compliance executives and government officials to take you through key corruption risk areas and risk management strategies.
