Corruption in a global trade can be a complex issue and is often intertwinedwith both company and country culture. In certain areas of the world, corruption can be a common practice that is endorsed – bribery, intimidation and mark ups may exist in all levels of society. For US corporations, non-compliance with the FCPA practices can result in steep fines, government compliance monitoring as well as loss of reputation and goodwill. Training of staff has never been more critical, but comprehensive programs can be daunting to design, customize, deliver and monitor across global regions. This webcast will address some of the key challenges and offer helpful tips for designing comprehensive web-based training.TRANSCRIPT
