World-Check Sponsors the 6th Annual Meeting of the Compliance Leadership Forum 30 Sept - 1 Oct, 2010
LONDON, Sept. 17/PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
- Forum Pledges Cooperation to Secure a Business Environment Free From
Corruption
World-Check will again sponsor this year's annual World Compliance
Leadership Forum. The Forum, now in its 6th successful year, will take place
at Brocket Hall from the 30th September to the 1st October and is the
foremost global gathering of leading compliance and law enforcement
professionals from the Financial, Legal, Corporate and Government sectors
representing some of the world's largest financial institutions and
corporations.
Over 50 delegates are expected to attend the invitation-only event from
all corners of the globe with special addresses from Peter Clarke, Former
Head of the Counter Terrorism Command (SO15) and currently a non-executive
Director of the Serious Organised Crime Agency; Frederick Lord, Assistant
Director INTERPOL Anti-Corruption Office (IACO) and James M. Lord, Assistant
United States Attorney in Washington along with a number of other world
renowned experts on compliance and the prevention of financial crime. For a
full list of speakers please visit the Forum's site at
According to Dan Peak, chief executive of World-Check, "The Forum is
unique in that it provides a platform for the global leaders from both
regulators, enforcement agencies and industry to come together to debate and
discuss the current issues and trends in legislation, policy and strategy in
a closed environment in order to obtain crucial insights into how to combat
corruption and international white collar crime."
"Today companies and their decision-makers face extremely high civil and
criminal penalties for violation of international regulations and sanctions,
notwithstanding the reputational damage a business can sustain for failing to
administer sound internal controls and procedures. No other event gives
international business leaders the opportunity of exploring current and
emerging developments with regulators and enforcement agencies themselves to
facilitate the sharing of global best practice in the prevention of fraud,
corruption and money laundering."
