2023 Australian Dialogue on Bribery and Corruption
Future frontiers in Australian integrity frameworksTuesday 18 July | Sydney
ABOUT
The bribery and corruption risk environment continues to evolve for Australian businesses. The last 12 months have seen landmark legislative reforms, while domestic and international examples of corruption continue to highlight areas of Australia’s integrity frameworks that can be improved.
Complementing last year’s exploration of Navigating the Global Risk Environment, the 2023 Dialogue will turn to home, with a focus on Future frontiers in Australian integrity frameworks. The event will provide an opportunity to hear from leading government agencies, business leaders, non-governmental organisations and academics.
Dialogue sessions will address topics including: the launch of the National Anti-Corruption Commission and its implications for Australian businesses; future developments to integrity frameworks; emerging risks in Australia’s economy; and navigating the self-reporting process.
The event will be held under the Chatham House rule.
