Compliance violations by and within businesses have now assumed
international proportions. At the same time, the responsibility of both
local and corporate management to prevent compliance violations has
increased all over the world. Within this context, this book provides an
international review of effective compliance regulations. Lawmakers in
the applicable economic areas are increasingly regulating the legal
frameworks of business operations in areas such as corruption, antitrust
law, data protection, money laundering, foreign trade law or customs in
a stricter way, with more severe legal consequences, and imposing more
barriers on international operations.
With respect to over 30 jurisdictions, international experts answer
important questions such as: What are the liabilities of a business,
manager or shareholder in a given country and how can they defend
themselves? What are the major areas of law and threats they should take
account of and how are they enforced? In addition, our experts provide
useful tips for foreign shareholders and compliance or legal departments
regarding the issues they should pay special attention to.
