Bribery & Corruption, Conflicts of Interest and Anti-Money Laundering

Bribery and Corruption
The impact of a material, unremediated bribery and corruption case can be huge, with costs in the hundreds of millions, let alone the implications for share price, reputation, and potential imprisonment . There have been hundreds of high profile cases over the past 10 years (a few recent public domain convictions and settlements are shown here). My personal areas of expertise include: * Controls design and documentation * Appropriate & inappropriate gifts and hospitality (G&H) * Sponsorships, donations and charitable activities * G&H register design & operations * Staff training (online and face to face) * Due Diligence including M&A * Remediation of organisation deficiencies.

Conflicts of interest
Generally these issues are smaller, "value leakage" cases within an organisation, where staff or contractors have side interests which affect their decisions or commitment. My personal areas of expertise include: * Rules for managing conflicts of interest * Staff training and awareness * Design and operation of conflict registers * Advice on specific situations AML Money laundering was not a core area for me, as my employer rarely handled cash, but I have advised on: * Suspected money laundering by distributors * Alternate payee problems with customers * Merger and acquisitions red flags during due diligence
