NABA members are welcome to a virtual meeting to discuss how we can work together to stop fraud and corruption. We will share best practices, experiences and discuss solutions from different perspectives. You will get an update on the current rules and regulations, learn how to establish a good anti-corruption culture and how to carry a corporate investigation when not much is available in the public domain.
