Workshop A: Effectively Managing Risk in Emerging Markets

Why attend this workshop?

While entering new markets is certainly nothing new, with increased regulation and enforcement,
combined with lower oil prices, there is a requirement to be even more effective when it comes to
controls and policy. Understanding the unique challenges and risks associated with specific laws
and cultures is challenging, particularly on a limited budget. This workshop will give you the tools to
understand how you can smoothly enter the worlds most problematic areas with minimum disruption.

This workshop will allow you to:
• Create a checklist of measures to be crossed off whenever entering a new market
• Effectively balance risk and reward before starting business in that location
• Quickly and effectively reduce the knowledge gap of your people in
challenging operating locations
• Share best practices and lessons learned from real life experiences

Workshop B: The New Frontier of FCPA Enforcement – How to Implement, Utilize and Assess Your Internal Controls using a Data-Driven Approach
Workshop Leader: Thomas Fox, Principal , Advanced Compliance Solutions Workshop Leader: Joe Oringel, Managing Director, Visual Risk IQ

Why attend this workshop?

2015 will be the year of an explosion of FCPA enforcement by the SEC for companies and their lack of internal controls. The DOJ and UK SFO have also each emphasized how monitoring controls and testing are essential elements of an effective Compliance Program. In this workshop, you will learn how to implement a system of data-driven monitoring controls and documents to measure the effectiveness of your compliance program and get you through an SEC investigation.

This workshop will allow you to:

  • Understand what internal controls are required under a best practices compliance program?
  • Recognize what FCPA enforcement actions tell us about internal controls in an anti-corruption compliance program?
  • Get to grips with what the SEC expects you to have in place?
  • Competently document the effectiveness of your internal controls?
  • Understand best practices and a methodology for the use of data analytics in compliance and ethics organization
  • Prioritize business and compliance questions that can be answered with analysis of digital data

Identify a learning plan and resources to enhance your team’s data analytics expertise
