The goal is to:

  • Address the relationship between transnational crime and corruption and the impact on your organization
  • Analyze the emerging global trends in crime and corruption and how current public policy responses such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act will affect your operations
  • Discover the impact beyond compliance of these trends and best practices for managingthese dynamics within your organization

The presenters and speakers come from a range of disciplines at George Mason University, as well the analytical and practitioner community in the Washington, DC area and beyond, such as

  • U.S. Government
  • Private Law Firm
  • Trade Associations

This program:

  • Brings together private, public and non-profit sector experts and ideas.
  • Provides broad global context for how transnational crime and corruption affect business managers, government officials and not-for-profit individuals.
  • Helps develop core skills necessary to address issues beyond compliance.
