Widely known in the region as the must-attend anti-corruption compliance conference of the year, attendees of this event will be provided withfirsthand enforcement updates directly from key government agencies as well as the most up-to-date information on how recently passed local legislation will impact global business operations on the ground in Russia. Gain best practices for achieving optimal compliance in your local Russian operations as you meet, network and benchmark with your peers at ACI’s 5th Russia and CIS Summit on Anti-Corruption.
