Effective risk assessments, strong third-party practices and gifts and hospitality procedures that hold up under fire are at the heart of best-in-class anti-corruption compliance programs.  In a recent Practising Law Institute event, moderated by Gibson Dunn partner Richard W. Grime, outside and in-house counsel discussed how they tackle developing, implementing and monitoring those essential features of compliance programs.  The panel included Kathryn Cameron Atkinson, a member at Miller & Chevalier, Patricia M. Byrne, VP and Associate General Counsel for International Compliance at BAE Systems, Inc., and William B. Jacobson, a partner at Orrick.  See the Anti-Corruption Report’s Conducting Effective Anti-Corruption Due Diligence on Third Parties Interview Series: Gwen Romack, Director of Global Anti-Corruption at Hewlett-Packard (Oct. 9, 2013); Principals at Nardello & Co. (Sep. 26, 2013); and Alice Fisher, Partner at Latham & Watkins (Sep. 11, 2013).
