NEW: ALB Guide to Ethics and Compliance in Asia 2020
Publication date: September 2020

Companies and the people that run them are subject to an increasing array of local and international regulations. Running afoul of these regulations can lead to corporate scandals that hurt a firm’s reputation and cause lasting damage. A compliance and ethics function can help ensure that an organization operates within the law and stays true to its own ethical principles that are important to the company’s business and identity. And just as significantly, a compliance function can demonstrate to a company’s employees and the community that the organization is committed to doing business the right way.

This ALB guide provides a practical overview of what it takes to build an effective ethics and compliance function in various Asian jurisdictions, by bringing to you up-to-date expert practical commentary from practitioners well-versed with the local market. Apart from providing updates on key legislation to keep in mind, the writers also discuss case studies, and offer expert commentary on the most recent trends.
