Unparalleled networking and benchmarking opportunities, an international faculty of senior-level executives and information you can’t get anywhere else make this event the region’s premier anti-corruption compliance forum. No other conference delivers this much value

While the Arab Spring has given way to more transparency, bribery risks in the Middle East remain very real and complex. The dangers of third party agents and consultants and so-called “after-sales service fees”, complex civil service structures, and the utilization of various forms of “quasi-governmental” entities in business roles that blur public/private lines all increase exposure to liability under foreign and local bribery laws.

In recent years, several U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act enforcement actions have involved the Middle East, including the United Nations Iraq Oil-for-Food scandal, Control Components, York, and Textron. At the same time, the growing commitment by other countries, including several in the Middle East, to investigate and prosecute corruption, and the proliferation of new bribery laws, including the UK Bribery Act, are quickly changing the way global entities approach compliance.

Join us for the acclaimed 3^rd Middle East Anti-Corruption Summit and take part in the region’s only event that addresses your company’s local bribery risks.
