Defining a Risk-Based, Scalable & Sustainable Approach
As companies continue to globalize their business opportunities, they are exposed to an ever-widening environment of anti-bribery and anti-corruption regulations. Moreover, the enforcement of such laws is increasing; for example, 2016 was a record year in terms of the number of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) actions brought by U.S. regulators and the amount of monetary penalties imposed.
While many risks can compromise an organization’s compliance with anti-bribery and anti-corruption regulations, third party relationships are especially problematic. In fact, third party violations were cited as the top risk to their organizations’ anti-bribery and anti-corruption programs by 40 percent of survey respondents in the “Anti-Bribery and Corruption Benchmarking Report – 2017” (ABC Report), published by Kroll and the Ethisphere Institute.
