C5 Anti-Corruption London
London
William Barry and Brian Fleming* will speak at the C5 Anti-Corruption London conference on June 19, 2019.
Barry will moderate the panel, "Multi-jurisdictional Coordination in Action." The panel will discuss what multi-jurisdictional enforcement truly looks like on the ground-and how best to manage increasing, overlapping and uncertain risk factors:
- The risk of "follow-on" cases: When a resolved or settled case in one jurisdiction could trigger new bribery investigations in other countries
- The challenges of coordinating with multiple agencies:
- Best practices for communicating with foreign authorities
- Managing the uncertain risks posed by the enforcement of a new or amended anti-bribery law
- How a settlement in one jurisdiction could affect a company’s business operations in other key markets
- Local laws affecting your internal investigation and ability to cooperate with authorities: Data privacy, State Secret Law, privilege, evidence-gathering procedures and more
- When a DPA with the DOJ/SFO and/or a press release could "tip off" foreign authorities of bribery in their respective jurisdictions
- When multi-jurisdictional bribery enforcement could spark investigations of other potential crimes, including fraud, money laundering and privacy violations-and vice versa
- Impact of multi-jurisdictional enforcement risks on your decision to disclose or cooperate
Fleming will moderate the panel, "Internal Investigations Think Tank." The panel will discuss:
- Setting up an investigations plan in your company, including reporting structure, and assignment of roles and responsibilities
- Creating standards, manuals, policies, operating procedures for the team
- Budget: How much you need to spend and mitigating the risk of spiralling costs
- Delivering effective training to team members
- When attorney-client privilege may not apply
- When to involve outside counsel
- Right-sizing internal investigations: Lessons from recent investigations, enforcement actions and settlements
- When and when not to investigate new or peripheral red flags
- When to stop: How to know when to conclude the investigation
- Governance issues: What types of matters to report to your Audit and the Board
