Digging corruption out of the natural resources sectors: What new avenues for joint efforts?

Sweeteners in international contracts: Are "offsets" the new corruption threat?

Mechanisms to recognise companies’ compliance efforts: Do they work and can they be applied in all jurisdictions?

Speakers will include: Andrea Orlando, Minister of Justice, Italy; Gabriela Ramos, Chief of Staff and Sherpa to the G20, OECD; Emma Marcegaglia, President, ENI; Drago Kos, Chair of the OECD Working Group on Bribery; Phil Edmands, Managing Director, Rio Tinto, Australia and Raffaele Cantone, President of the Italian National Anti-Corruption Authority for Evaluation and Transparency of Public Administrations.
