GC360 Problem-Solving Virtual Roundtable
MEA – Anti-Corruption & Cross-Border Crime Risk
Free to Attend | Live GC360 Virtual Roundtable
About the Session
With increasing global enforcement actions and regional instability, organizations operating in the Middle East and Africa must take proactive steps to mitigate corruption and cross-border crime risks. Regulatory bodies are raising expectations on due diligence, transparency, and third-party oversight — especially in high-risk jurisdictions.
This roundtable convenes legal, compliance, risk, and ethics leaders from across MEA to explore:
-
How to navigate local anti-bribery laws and international obligations (e.g., FCPA, UKBA)
-
What tools and procedures enable early detection of corruption and illicit activity
-
How to manage risks in government contracting, high-risk agents, and cash-based markets
-
How MEA teams are responding to whistleblower claims and criminal enforcement threats
All GC360 members will receive post-event access to the full session recording and practical toolkit via GC360Flix.
