Compliance Subcommittee

Compliance has emerged as a critical aspect of anti-corruption efforts worldwide. As anti-corruption enforcement has globalized, so has the importance of the role of corporate compliance programmes in combating corruption.

Compliance programmes provide a critical tool for organizations to structure incentives to counter corruption, and deter employees from engaging in corruption in the first place. And, in many jurisdictions, they are now required. However, designing and implementing compliance programmes can be challenging. Fortunately, there are international standards and resources that provide guidance on how to successfully create robust, mature compliance practices in organisations of any size. There are also lessons learnt from companies in heavily regulated industries that have become early adopters in this field. Robust compliance programmes are expected to include risk assessment exercises, anti-corruption policies and procedures, reporting channels, investigations processes, training for employees, monitoring and testing processes, activities for M&A integration, third-party due diligence, and incentives and disciplinary measures.

The IBA Anti-Corruption Compliance subcommittee aims to provide a specialized forum for discussing anti-corruption compliance and to offer guidance and resources on compliance topics, including about designing and implementing compliance programs, for anticorruption practitioners, Compliance Officers, and General Counsels. The subcommittee also endeavors to gather best practices through research and surveys and to publish findings for the IBA community.
