Our Principal Consultant, Reinushini Chandrasegaram, was an invited guest at the Ethics, Governance and Transparency in Corporate Reporting Forum on 9 January 2020 (Thursday) in Aloft Hotel, organised by ACCA and MICG.
She discussed matters related to the Corporate Liability provision (Section 17A) and Adequate Procedures, with MACC Senior Assistant Commissioner, Pn Siti Zakiah, who shared that there was a lack of culture of integrity within organisations. According to MACC, if bribery occurs, then the measures instituted were not adequate and this is the concept of strict liability. The burden of proof rests with the Directors and Senior Management.
