1415 – 1530 SESSION THREE
An international perspective on corporate monitorshipsThis session explores the consequences for companies who have admitted wrongdoing and as part of their deal with authorities, have to survive the imposition of an external monitor. This session draws on the experience of US and European monitors, the problems they face and the challenges the role of monitor creates for companies, management and the monitor.

1600 – 1715 SESSION FOUR
Privilege and confidential information: how to protect it during corruption investigations and prosecutionsThis session considers how the issues concerning the protection of privileged communications and confidential information arise in all corruption cases, the demands of prosecutors to have access to ‘all’ communications, the tensions between companies and individuals on what to disclose to authorities and whether there is a right balance between disclosing everything or showing nothing and relying on your presumed innocence.

Asset recovery – a case studyThis session involves a study based on a fictional case to explore the methodology of locating, preserving and recovering the proceeds of corruption and the problems, challenges and legal avenues open to victims to seek redress outside the criminal forfeiture arena.

1145 – 1215 Coffee/tea break
1215 – 1345 SESSION SEVEN
The rise of the whistleblower: an inside guideThe role of the whistleblower can polarise us – are they forces of good, unearthing corruption and illegal conduct to be praised or are they malcontented individuals out to grind an axe and publicise ill-founded allegations in order to extract revenge on a company or colleagues who spurned them? Whistleblowers play an essential role in detecting and reporting corrupt conduct yet they are rarely praised and more often, they are ostracised and humiliated, scorned and rejected. This session explores how the role of the whistleblower has developed, the role they play, their value to regulators, how regulators treat them and how they should be rewarded. Their complex story is highlighted by understanding the dynamics of social behaviour and the experiences of the whistleblower in the Australian banknote printing corruption scandal.

International Bar Associationthe global voice of the legal profession
The International Bar Association (IBA), established in 1947, is the world’s leading organisation of international legal
practitioners, bar associations and law societies. The IBA influences the development of international law reform and shapes the
future of the legal profession throughout the world. It has a membership of more than 50,000 individual legal professionals and
205 bar associations and law societies spanning all continents and has considerable expertise in providing assistance to the global
legal community.
Grouped into two divisions – the Legal Practice Division and the Public and Professional Interest Division – the IBA covers all
practice areas and professional interests, providing members with access to leading experts and up-to-date information. Through
the various committees of the divisions, the IBA enables an interchange of information and views among its members as to laws,
practices and professional responsibilities relating to the practice of law around the globe. Additionally, the IBA’s world-class
conferences provide unrivalled professional development and network-building opportunities for international legal practitioners,
senior business professionals, regulators and government officials.
IBA Anti-Corruption Committee overviewIBA Anti-Corruption Committee Overview Building on the good work of the Anti-Corruption Working Group, the Anti-Corruption
Committee was formed in 2007 to provide assistance to private practitioners in the fast-developing area of anti-corruptionlaw.
An active committee is vital as more and more private practitioners are being asked to advise on anti-corruption issues and
investigations, with corporations and their in-house counsel seeking to deal with a growing range of anti-corruption legal issues
and devise creative new compliance programmes. The committee not only brings together lawyers and judges who have a common
interest in this rapidly expanding area of the law, but also seeks to become a source of current information on investigations, cases,
governmental initiatives, literature, and other developments in anti-corruption law and practice. As the committee expands, it will
be exploring a variety of mechanisms through which committee members can access, and can contribute to information about
anticorruption law.
In April 2010, the IBA, in cooperation with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the UN
Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), proudly launched the Anti-Corruption Strategy for the Legal Profession, a project which
focuses on the role lawyers play in international corruption and on how international instruments and extraterritorial legislation
apply to the legal practice.
