Join us online for our last Business Integrity Forum of the year as we discuss the latest enforcement action and regulatory developments impacting corporate compliance and anti-corruption practitioners across the globe.
With the publication of the failure to prevent fraud guidance by the UK Home Office and the US election both happening in November, there are lots of potential changes to navigate in 2025 and beyond.
This session will help you understand upcoming enforcement trends and explore practical steps for companies to stay ahead in a rapidly changing regulatory environment.
