The 2021 OECD Anti-Bribery Recommendation and what it (could) mean for the private sector and enforcers

A webinar presented by the IBA Anti-Corruption Committee

In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Council adopted, at the proposal of its Working Group on Bribery, a revised Recommendation for Further Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions (the ‘Anti-Bribery Recommendation’). 

The revised OECD Anti-Bribery Recommendation is intrinsically linked to the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention and contains new and revised standards to strengthen the implementation of the Convention and further enhance the fight against bribery. This represents a key development in the anti-corruption landscape.

This webinar will gather four high-level experts from diverse backgrounds to unpack the revised Anti-Bribery Recommendation and examine its main provisions, in particular: 

•    non-trial resolutions;

•    whistleblower protection;

•    international cooperation;

•    the demand side of bribery; and

•    anti-bribery compliance.
