GE, ITT, HP, Smith and Wesson, AVON, Parker Drilling, Pride International, CCI, Dow Chemical, InVision Technologies, and Baker Hughes all have been convicted of violations, fined and employees imprisoned, despite having great FCPA policies and training programs.  

   

Why? They faced these problems because their employees mistakenly interpreted their fiduciary responsibilities with the FCPA and made bad choices and decisions.

Recognizing and diagnosing how your company implements the FCPA requirements in the field will give your firm a 360 degree review of your FCPA compliance effectiveness.

 

Four Ways This Program Protects Your Company:

 

Identifies specific field enforcement issues

Analysis of FCPA violations and forensic review of management decisions reveals specifically what went wrong where and why.  Why did the policies and training programs at these firms fail to prevent violations?

 

Pinpoints chain of control and process gaps

BAJ will provide a step by step process for identifying FCPA field enforcement issues with vendors, suppliers, contractors, sub contractors, government officials and brokers.

 

Includes forensic diagnostic evaluation check lists

BAJ will walk you through a forensic review of contracts, vendors, suppliers, facilitating payments, chain of control, and expense account processes to determine if your firm has process gaps which will cause FCPA violations.

 

Provides expert, personalized review of your results

Once you have completed your field diagnostic process evaluation, participants will have a ½ hour private review of their results with Bruce Allan Johnson and his team. 

Pricing:  $500.00/participant/company

Expatriate workforce models in the next decade will be fundamentally different from those of the past, with one-size-fits-all approaches being replaced by an array of more flexible, lower-cost mobility solutions.

 

Webinar attendees will learn about:

• Policies that organizations are implementing to meet new mobility challenges

• Measures that organizations take to reduce costs while maintaining mobility goals

• Which entitlements contribute to an assignment's success

• How to match the right compensation approach to specific types of talent

• When to localize an assignee -- and when not to

• Effective recruitment strategies when staffing emerging markets and challenging locations

About the Speaker:

She has helped several Fortune 100 companies complete strategic policy reviews and successfully reducing their administrative and program costs. She has been with AIRINC for 12 years.

Complimentary one hour webinar:

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

10:00 am, CDT (GMT -05:00, Chicago)

03:00 pm, GMT (GMT +00:00, London)

This one hour webinar, presented by Gill Aldred, Sr. Director, Consulting Services at Brookfield Global Relocation Services, will provide insight and practical tips on how to build a competitive but effective mobility programme for second and third tier cities.

As companies experience a deeper penetration into markets such as India and China, their patterns of mobility are going beyond the first tier cities of Beijing and Shanghai or Mumbai and Bangalore.

The lower operating costs and market potential to be found in locations such as Chongqing in China and Pune in India are driving a trend that has significant implications for assignment and relocation management.

During this session we will address the following challenges associated with assignments to what have become known as second and third tier cities:

•         The mobility policy – we will consider the different programme elements and options required to support assignments in these locations
•         Service delivery – we will examine how best to deliver ‘on the ground’ services in a limited infrastructure environment
•         Supplier management – we will share best practice on how best to select and manage suppliers charged with delivering those services
