2 IN 2018, BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION STILL THREATEN ORGANISATIONS WORLDWIDE Zafar I. Anjum MSc, CFE, CII, MICA, Int. Dip. (Fin. Crime) CRI Group Chief Executive Officer MESSAGE FROM THE CEO OBJECTIVE OF THE EVENT Our goal at ABAC Summit 2019 Islamabad, Pakistan is to provide an impactful program that enables you to gain invaluable training in the distinct areas of due diligence, internal controls and compliance issues, and learn about the latest resources and solutions to detect and combat bribery and corruption within the organization. It s both a challenging and exciting time to work in the anti-bribery and anti-corruption business. From a global perspective, more and more organizations are waking up to the fact that corruption -- in its many forms -- can imperil operations, jeopardize sales, affect morale and negatively impact public perception. We re at a crossroads now where organizational awareness and forceful action are just beginning to outpace corrupt practices. And while the fight will most likely never be completely won, our industry is starting to make a concerted effort to forge inroads in the battle for transparency and good governance. Nowhere is that more prevalent than right here in Pakistan, a country whose Transparency International corruption perception index ranking has decreased steadily over the past several years, thanks to effective anti-corruption programs, increased awareness, and ever-stringent enforcement measures. But the battle rages on as both the public and private sectors work around the many local, regional and global challenges that inhibit organizations from strengthening accountability and countering corruption. Among those many challenges are adherence to an evergrowing list of laws and regulations -- both here and throughout the region -- by which we as compliance, legal and corporate professionals must abide. Add to that list the complexities in establishing a culture of compliance, the many facets of risk management, and establishing a framework for addressing corruption, and one can surely agree that creating a sound, effective anti-bribery anti-corruption program remains an uphill battle. CRI Group, through its globally recognized Anti-Bribery Anti-Corruption Centre of Excellence (ABAC ), is pleased to host this Summit in a concerted effort to address the many challenges you face as professionals. Through a daylong forum which includes highly informative work sessions, group discussions, Q&A periods and plenary sessions, our goal is to provide you with the most up-to-date information and education designed to guide you through the complexities of your job. And we re very thankful to have such noted speakers and highly regarded industry experts to lead the charge. I hope you ll consider joining us on January 29th, and look forward to seeing you in Islamabad. Sincerely, Zafar I. Anjum

3 SUMMIT OVERVIEW Today s leaders no longer simply view anti-bribery and corruption programs solely from the standpoint of regulatory enforcement. That view of compliance has been coupled to include safeguarding the brand and protecting the organization s reputation. But the complex global regulatory landscape -- and increased enforcement of current and new regulations -- still ranks very high in the minds of those tasked with successfully carrying out anti-bribery and anti-corruption programs. CRI Group s 3rd Anti-Bribery & Anti-Corruption Summit - Pakistan brings together likeminded experts from around the region to Islamabad, Pakistan in a forum designed to address the ever-changing complex world of compliance regulations and requirements, while offering proven strategies, tactics, and best-practices to conquer the many challenges you face in your role as risk manager, compliance, legal or management professional. You ll hear discussions on such wide-ranging topics as international regulatory frameworks; establishing an ethics and compliance culture; bribery risk management; and current legislation affecting anti-corruption enforcement efforts. We ll transition from an international scope to spotlight anti-corruption efforts in Pakistan, where systematic corruption remains a substantial obstacle in both the public and private sectors. We ll delve into concepts, laws, and regulations driving Pakistan s anti-corruption enforcement efforts, and examine the effectiveness of the country s National Accountability Bureau (NAB). We ll even discuss a strategic framework for maintaining Pakistan s GSP+ status. And through it all, you ll have many opportunities to share your thoughts and ideas with industry professionals, ask questions to our panel of experts and go head-to-head some of the best minds in the business. It is our firm objective to equip you with real-world practical insight on innovations in compliance, best-practice risk mitigation strategies and the latest industry updates you need to effectively wade through today s rapidly changing and fast-evolving anti-bribery and anti-corruption landscape. BENEFITS TO ATTENDEES As a participant at the ABAC Summit, you ll have an opportunity to learn directly from a wealth of regional and global experts who will share firsthand knowledge related to topics, trends, challenges and solutions that affect your job, impact your industry and can have lasting effects on your organization.

7 SESSION DESCRIPTIONS SPOTLIGHT ON ANTI-BRIBERY AND ANTI-CORRUPTION IN PAKISTAN: CONCEPTS, LAWS AND REGULATIONS The state of corruption in Pakistan is an everpresent topic, discussed on city streets, over the airwaves of local and national media, and in the halls of government. From awareness campaigns that reach the country s youth, and established accountability bureaus, to stringent new laws addressing bribery and corruption, we ll shed light on the latest initiatives, laws and regulations that are designed to inform, deter and punish bad actors. PROSPECTS OF SPECIFIC LEGISLATION FOR CORPORATE CORRUPTION AND SETTING THE TONE AT THE TOP A STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR UPHOLDING PAKISTAN S GSP+ STATUS Several efforts are being implemented to strengthen Pakistan s anti-corruption framework to comply with the requirements and conventions under which GSP+ has been granted. We ll take an in-depth look at legislative changes and the anti-corruption awareness campaign targeting the country s youth and discuss how these initiatives are playing a role in advocating for good governance. Creating a culture of compliance throughout the organization begins at the top, and proper corporate governance ensures that risks are understood, managed, and, when appropriate, communicated. This session is designed to assist participants in establishing an ironclad anti-bribery, anti-corruption management system that demonstrates leadership and commitment at the top, provides adequate resources needed for an effective system, communicates the importance of the ABAC policy throughout the organization, and works flawlessly in detecting and preventing corruption at all levels, both within and outside the organization. BRIBERY RISK MANAGEMENT Bribery and corruption threats appear to grow more complex by the day, making this topic a very hot issue within the global executive realm. Top management finally realizes that the risks are vast and ever-present, and that their organizations will suffer greatly if they fail to properly manage those risks. In this session, we ll examine how organizations can mitigate the many risks -- including fines, penalties, sanctions, civil liability and reputational harm -- that are associated with non-compliance with ABAC laws and regulations. NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL REGULATORY FRAMEWORK Throughout the world, anti-corruption authorities are increasingly cooperating across borders in a concerted effort to bring corrupt actors to justice. The increasingly complex nature of international regulations is becoming more difficult to navigate and enforcement is on the rise. In this session, we ll update enforcement actions under the local and regional legislation, international acts including UK Bribery Act, U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), SAPIN II (France) and others.

8 SESSION DESCRIPTIONS NATIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND NAB EFFECTIVENESS Pakistan s National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has adopted a strong Accountability for All policy designed to eradicate corruption nationwide. NAB Chairman Justice Javed Iqbal has recently reported that complaints, inquiries and investigations have nearly doubled in the past year, demonstrating widespread trust and acceptance in the policy. BRIBERY / CORRUPTION CASE STUDIES In this session, we ll delve into the latest bribery and corruption headlines from around the world and receive expert commentary on how such crimes were perpetrated, the actors involved, the effect on the organization and how the organization could have detected and prevented the crime from being committed. In this session, we ll review the NAB s monitoring and evaluation system and discuss how effective the Bureau has become in enhancing its operational, monitoring and evaluation capabilities, and the impact the program has had on the nation s public and private sectors. ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE CULTURE To maintain a powerful presence in the global marketplace, organizations now must demonstrate a culture that shuns corruption while meeting a wide range of ethics and compliance requirements, both on a local and international scale. The challenges to managing compliance and ethics-related risks are becoming increasingly more complex, primarily affected by changing organizational business structures, varying geographic locations of operations, revisions to legal and regulatory frameworks, and control over enforcement of the management system. This session will provide well thought out strategies to design and implement strong and effective ethics and compliance practices by examining the internal capacities of the organization and what s needed to deploy frameworks and tools that ensure proper and timely communication of existing and potential ethics and compliance matters. CPEC DISCUSSION GROUPS Considered to be a game changer for Pakistan s ailing economy, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) involves a collection of large-scale infrastructure projects currently under construction throughout the county using $46 billion in China investments allocated to projects encompassing mining, infrastructure, textiles, energy and industry. And while this planned economic corridor is considered central to China-Pakistan relations, the mega-project has spurred a set of crises involving fiscal irresponsibility on the government side, opacity in information sharing, and corruption on both ends of the partnership, which continues to push project costs higher by the day.

9 KNOW THE FACTS Worldwide corporate corruption continues to disrupt socio-economic progress in developing nations. From multi-national companies to highranking government officials, the tentacles of corruption reach far and wide. Corruption weakens governments, fuels organized crime, stifles economic growth, and discourages development. The cost of corruption can have a devastating effect on any business and its stakeholders, from a damaged corporate image, devalued stock, negative public perception, costly legal challenges and even incarceration of corporate directors. Organizations are finding it increasingly difficult to navigate the complex web of multijurisdictional laws and regulations related to anti-bribery and anti-corruption practices.
