Description

This interactive criminal trial looks at the potential liability of a corporation and its CFO, charged with numerous counts of foreign bribery, conspiracy, money laundering and false accounting. The session will examine key issues of: • the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Australian courts over foreign corporations and their officers; • the criminal liability of a corporation and that of individual directors, officers and employees in the organisation; • the liability of a corporation and its CFO for the conduct of foreign subsidiaries and their agents; • the availability of plea bargaining to reduce or eliminate the criminal exposure of the corporation and/or corporate officers; and • avoiding the unexpected: anticipating and responding to parallel criminal and regulatory proceedings in multiple jurisdictions.
