With the globalization of business, the overseas business development of Japanese companies is accelerating, and there is a harsh reality that local officers and employees, especially in emerging countries, routinely encounter monetary demands from foreign public servants. Headquarters compliance officers and personnel cannot turn away from this reality. The risk of bribery of foreign civil servants, which involves criminal penalties and huge fines, is one of the greatest risks for Japanese companies developing overseas businesses, and appropriate risk management is required with a direct view of reality. In this webinar, we do not explain preventive measures for bribery in peacetime, but assume a crisis management situation where the actual bribery was "discovered", and will explain the main points of how companies "investigate" and "respond" based on the results of the investigation, following the flow of practice.
It is not easy to gain experience in contingency crisis management, but by attending this webinar, you will be able to manage a crisis with a roadmap of what will happen next and where you will end up.
