Integrity Debates - Compliance and Integrity in Practice

Corruption is a major obstacle to socio-economic development and also for a sustainable business environment. In the last years, the compliance area has become an increasingly relevant issue in the business world. Companies have been gradually establishing measures and controls to ensure compliance and avoid violations of regulations. Effective implementation measures, however, are easier in theory than in practice. In order to promote integrity among companies, business partners and other relevant players in the economic system, the Alliance for Integrity is promoting Integrity Debates in different regions of Brazil throughout 2017.

Integrity Debates aims to discuss the features of compliance management in the business and public sector and identify how both areas can work together and learn from each other. The cycle addresses the challenges listed in the publication "Between hope and reality - The evolution of a compliance culture of compliance in selected countries - Germany and Brazil", produced by KPMG Germany together with the Business Association for Latin America (LAV) and with the Alliance for Integrity. Transversally, the Alliance for Integrity as a B20 conceptual partner will address the issues that make up the G20 anti-corruption plan.

The first debate will take place in São Paulo with the topic: Compliance and Integrity in Practice. The focus of the first debate will be to discuss the challenges of applying effective compliance measures, aiming at the daily routine applicability of a company or institution. The debate will count with the participation of several renowned experts from the compliance field.
