Anti-Corruption, Compliance and Investigations in the Age of Remote Working and Collaboration

With compliance on the rise and general will of public authorities to prosecute both companies and individuals for criminal misconduct and regulatory breaches, businesses have to deal with managing related risks and internal investigations. However, as the “business first” logic seemed to rule the landscape during Covid-19, compliance officers might have heard the “who can afford compliance” question more often.

Did compliance come out weaker or stronger out of the pandemic? Did companies finally understand that during the crisis they actually have to pay even more attention? And what practical issues did the professionals have to deal with when conducting investigations or compliance screenings in the era of remote working?
