Panel 8: Compliance due diligence in M&A: anti-corruption, ESG and beyond

Description

Mergers and acquisitions often present strategic imperatives and pose unavoidable compliance risks. Today, the compliance challenges involved in keeping M&A and similar strategic investments as viable options for corporate growth have risen. And spreading regulatory requirements are calling for effective and efficient pre-deal due diligence, even more so than before. 

What are today´s due diligence best practices to identify anti-corruption exposure in target companies? What can be learned from this international preventive compliance management system module for ‘new’ compliance risk categories such as ESG, export compliance and other evolving compliance risks.   

This panel will discuss actual capabilities and compare them with emerging necessities with in-house representatives and investment experts.
