Anti-Bribery & Corruption (Government) Workshop - Perth

The risk to any organisation of being caught in a corruption scandal is ever present regardless of the local and foreign environment it operates in, interacts with or the standard of its corporate governance.  

This Anti-Bribery and Corruption (Government) Workshop offered by Malkara Consulting has been designed to meet the needs of managers and employees working in government including:

·      Elected representatives

·      Senior managers and executives including the Chief Executive Officer

·      Any organisation contracted to perform services on behalf of a government

·      Government employees

Unlike other workshops, this focuses on people, the weakest link in any ABC Risk Management Plan.  Each workshop will address how managers, employees, contractors and third parties representing the government can be corrupted.  Knowledge of corruption methods will enable government departments and authorities that undertake the training, to build and implement more effective ABC measures.

The capstone of this workshop is the requirement that participants affirm and sign a personal pledge committing themselves and the organisation they lead, work for or contracted to, in combating bribery and corruption in their organisation, country and globally.  Participants will be encouraged to display their pledge on websites, internal bulletins and personal correspondence.

Anti-Corruption Workshop

For UK Businesses, Employees and Individuals

Preventing bribery and corruption is the responsibility of every person at every level in an organisation, not just staff working in an anti-bribery & corruption role.  Corrupt staff and contractors have caused significant loss and reputational damage to organisations via the theft of data and trade secrets.  Having greater knowledge in preventing corruption that goes beyond mere awareness is an attribute being demanded by organisations today. 

This workshop has been designed to meet the needs of UK companies, or foreign organisations who employ UK citizens or third parties who are covered by the UK Bribery Act.  The prime focus of the workshop is the defence provision of “adequate procedures” available under the UK Bribery Act to the offence by commercial organisations of failing to prevent bribery.  The workshop will outline advice published by the UK Government on what is meant by adequate procedures but supplement that information with practical recommendations on bribery prevention gained from extensive experience operating in high risk situations and high-risk markets.

Some of the topics covered at this workshop are:-

  • Introduction to ASO37001 Anti-Bribery Management Standard
  • The Corruption Process
  • UK Bribery Act
  • Adequate Procedures in High Risk Jurisdictions/Situation 

When: Thursday, 14th December 2017

Where: Sofitel Resort, Sentosa

Time: 8.30am - 4.30pm

Ticket Price: S$399

For bookings made before 11 December 2017: S$299

Anti-Bribery & Corruption Workshop - People are the weakest link (Singapore)

ABC Workshop Programme Outline_page_1.png

The theme for this 2 full-day ABC workshop is about people – the weakest link in any organisation or greatest threat to any organisation. The risk to any organisation of being caught in a corruption scandal is ever present regardless of the local and foreign environment they operate in or interact with and the ABC risk management plan that is in place. No amount of due diligence conducted on staff, third parties and organisations can fully safeguard the organisation. 

This workshop in Anti-bribery and corruption has been designed to meet the needs of managers and staff working in or doing business with organisations that originate from or are situated in countries that are regarded as being of high risk to corruption. 

It has been designed to extend the participant's knowledge beyond compliance with local and international ABC laws whilst aligning with the current strategic focus of many countries to combat corruption.
