New U.K. Bribery Act 2010 Enforcement to Be Addressed at Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics London Conference on Anti-Corruption and Third Party Risk

Robert Amaee, Head of Anti-Corruption, Proceeds of Crime & International Assistance, Serious Fraud Office to Speak. Business Leaders and France Chain, Senior Legal Advisor, OECD-Anti-Corruption Division also on Agenda

MINNEAPOLIS, April 13, 2010 - The United Kingdom's just-passed anti-bribery legislation will be among
the leading topics addressed during the Managing Third Party Anti-Corruption,
Compliance, and Ethics Risk conference planned for 20-21 May, 2010 in London,
England. The Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE) announced that
Robert Amaee, the United Kingdom's Head of Anti-Corruption, Proceeds of Crime
& International Assistance, Serious Fraud Office will discuss Anti-Fraud
Enforcement during the opening day of this conference.

"Businesses operating in the international arena should be knowledgeable
about this new anti-bribery law," warned SCCE Chief Executive Officer Roy
Snell. "In particular, the provision that creates corporate liability for
failing to prevent bribery," adds Snell. The new legislation in many ways
goes farther than the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and will
likely cause many companies to review their existing practices.

Anti-Corruption is a key risk for companies that rely on third parties –
agents, contractors, and others — when operating globally. Company after
company has had to manage FCPA enforcement actions because of deeds of their
third parties. This conference will provide critical information on steps to
take to successfully manage third-party risk in its many forms.
