THE ULTIMATE ANTI-CORRUPTION EXPERIENCE
2026 looks set to be another challenging year for professionals in both the private and public sector with ever increasing pressures from the markets they operate in, combined with an uptick in enforcement and international cooperation on Anti-Corruption matters. Faced with a bewildering array of new laws, regulations and guidance, many professional practitioners want to know what works well and how to introduce the best compliance practices in their respective organisations in the most cost effective and innovative way.

It promises to deliver timely and important insights for all those involved in compliance and anti-corruption/bribery, irrespective of industry or jurisdiction. This Conference aims to improve transparency and accountability in the public sector and to promote responsible behavior in the private sector.
