Anti-corruption compliance

International norms and local legislation require organisations to take measures to prevent and counter corruption. These requirements apply to all organisations, regardless of their form of ownership, legal form or industry.

The seminar will give an overview of the main international and Kazakhstani anti-corruption acts and of the legislation on liability for violating anti-corruption legislation, and examine the set of measures that should form the basis of an organisation's anti-corruption policy.

The experts will present the main algorithms for creating a system of anti-corruption measures in an organisation, and give practical recommendations on preventing corruption and building anti-corruption awareness among employees.

The seminar will be of interest to both commercial and state organisations, as well as public administration bodies.

At the seminar we will consider:

• — the organisation's obligation to take measures aimed at preventing corruption (norms of international law, international conventions, countering corruption in organisations under the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan)
• — liability for corruption offences: administrative, criminal, disciplinary, civil (examples from practice)
• — anti-corruption compliance: the concept of compliance in an organisation (types of compliance), basic principles of anti-corruption work
• — the organisation's local regulatory acts (the organisation's anti-corruption policy, code of ethics and conduct, regulations on gifts and business hospitality, regulations on preventing and resolving conflicts of interest, etc.)
• — specifics of identifying public officials in anti-corruption checks
• — determining the responsible unit (persons) and their functions, the compliance officer and the anti-corruption policy, compliance procedures
• — building a compliance culture in the organisation: stages of implementing the compliance programme, employee training, compliance audit (internal and external)
