TRACE Anti-Bribery Training Workshops
TRACE organizes anti-bribery training workshops throughout the world for its members. These half-day seminars feature local and foreign business people and lawyers familiar with the practical challenges of international commercial transactions. The workshops are designed to provide attendees with the information they need to navigate these challenges and comply with international conventions and local anti-bribery laws. There is no charge for employees and intermediaries of TRACE member companies.

The workshops highlight recent bribery cases, and then quickly turn to the practical matters intermediaries encounter in the course of doing business. Among topics covered are:
  • What constitutes bribery under international conventions and local law?
  • Are gifts, hospitality and travel ever appropriate for government officials?
  • Responding to requests for inappropriate payments.
  • The cost of ignoring anti-bribery laws: criminal penalties and business cost.  
Alexandra Wrage, President of TRACE, leads a discussion on anti-bribery compliance issues at the TRACE workshop held in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea on February 27, 2006. More than sixty employees and contractors of TRACE member companies in the oil and gas industry attended the workshop.
