Presented as part of BDO USA, LLP's AćsenseSM series, the Ac’sense 2011 FCPA Series: Doing Business Abroad – Spotlight on Russia webinar continues our tradition of lending a helping hand to financial management and audit committees to stay on top of today's hot topics and developments.
This event is provided free of charge and intended for valued clients and contacts, including audit committees, board members, management, compliance, legal and finance professionals of public companies and private companies, as well as outside legal counsel and others.
Increasingly stringent and expanding anti-corruption regulations imposed by governmental and quasi-governmental authorities make it imperative that businesses operating in today’s global economy understand the risks of conducting business abroad and importance of mitigating the risk of corruption violations involving foreign government officials. As part of our continuing webinar series, experienced anti-corruption professionals will discuss the business environment in Russia, including corruption risks.
