Programme Details

Is your company prepared to face the risks of bribery and corruption? Under Section 17A of the MACC Act 2009, commercial organisations can be held liable for corrupt practices committed by employees, agents, or business associates for the organisation’s benefit.

Join this informative session with officers from MACC Selangor to understand how corporate liability applies to businesses, the potential legal consequences for organisations and their management, and the practical steps companies can take to strengthen their anti-bribery and corruption measures.

Through practical examples of business situations, participants will gain insights into managing risks involving gifts and entertainment, facilitation payments, procurement and tender processes, dealings with third parties, and interactions with government officials. The session will also highlight the importance of implementing adequate procedures to prevent bribery and help organisations establish a defence under Section 17A.

This is a valuable opportunity for business owners, directors, senior management, HR professionals, compliance officers and procurement teams to strengthen corporate governance, protect their organisations from corruption risks and promote ethical business practices.
