Sanctions, Anti-Corruption and Export Controls Compliance in the Middle East Conference, 20 – 21 May 2026, Dubai, UAE
Les États-Unis, le Royaume-Uni, l'Union européenne et maintenant la Chine ont mis en place des contrôles à l'exportation, des sanctions et des initiatives anti-corruption de grande envergure, auxquels s'ajoutent des réglementations locales. Notre conférence annuelle sur les sanctions, la lutte contre la corruption et la conformité des contrôles à l'exportation au Moyen-Orient (SACEC) est le seul endroit où, en tant que spécialiste local de la conformité, vous pouvez trouver un moyen de vous frayer un chemin.

La culture bat la conformité" est une maxime bien connue, mais elle n'a aucun poids auprès des régulateurs. Alors, comment non seulement mettre en place des programmes de conformité de premier plan, mais aussi s'assurer de leur adoption et de l'adhésion de la main-d'œuvre ? Les meilleures pratiques sont souvent préconisées, mais est-ce qu'une taille unique convient à tout le monde ? Comment pouvez-vous vous assurer que vous êtes en conformité avec les réglementations américaines et chinoises contradictoires tout en veillant à ce que les réglementations locales soient respectées ?
Cette conférence a été conçue en pensant à vous, le spécialiste de la conformité "sur le terrain". Elle est conçue pour vous permettre d'apprendre de vos pairs et de comparer votre programme non seulement avec les leaders mondiaux, mais aussi avec des entreprises locales de premier plan. Il s'agit d'une conférence incontournable dans la région où vous rencontrerez d'éminents intervenants des Émirats arabes unis, d'Arabie saoudite ainsi que d'autres spécialistes du CCG et du monde entier.
