The Italian Foreign Ministry in Rome on Friday hosted the high-level seminar “Global anticorruption strategies and corporate compliance: a dialogue between the United States and Italy,” the ministry said in a statement..
The Seminar, promoted by the Anticorruption Coordination Office at the Foreign Ministry’s Directorate General for Globalisation and Global Issues was designed to be an exchange of practical experiences on the respective models and is particularly targeted on the representatives of public and private Italian companies whose international operations must also comply with Common Law systems: people in charge of compliance, general counsel, supervisory bodies, in addition to members of the judiciary and of the legal profession and university professors.
Foreign Ministry Director-General for Globalisation and Global Issues, Massimo Gaiani greeted participants at the seminar and the opening remarks were made by the Foreign Ministry’s Coordinator of International Anticorruption Activities, Alfredo Durante Mangoni, followed by a keynote speech by Jennifer H. Arlen, Professor at New York University, who will illustrate the types of risks involved and the prevention strategies against corporate crime in the North American market, and will outline recent enforcement trends within the regulatory framework and the role of federal agencies.
A panel of Italian speakers including Chief of Staff at the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), Roberto Garofoli, and the Director-General of Confindustria, Marcella Panucci then debated the compliance requirements for companies operating on global markets, the ministry stated.
