Administrarea unei companii in mediul de afaceri din Romania vine nu doar cu provocari economice si de ordin legislativ, ci si cu din ce in ce mai multe probleme care privesc conducerea unei companii, in special in cazul reprezentantelor locale ale unor organizatii internationale. In marea lor majoritate, aceste probleme sunt legate de integritatea si securitatea managementului unei companii. Astfel, pentru a preveni aparitia unor costuri asociate practicilor de business corupte, se recomanda implementarea la nivel organizational si operational a unor proceduri de conformitate cu referinta la legislatia AML si ABAC. Prezentarea noastra va aborda aceste subiecte nu doar din perspectiva reglementarilor existente, ci si cu referire la cazuri practice din jurisprudenta recenta.
