Increasing reach of anti corruption framework Relevant "anti corruption" legal framework Moral, reputation, penal and liability exposure "Best practice" of corruption related DD?

3 Increasing reach of anti corruption framework - trends Increased focus on corruption and this will continue By authorities, investors and international organisations Expansion of rules also to cover the financial institutions own activity More and more stringent compliance rules for financial institutions Legislation is focusing on practices (i) within the firm; (ii) of suppliers of the firm; and (iii) customers of the firm. Investment Banks' policies appear to focus on (i) and (ii). While (iii) is usually being analyzed in the concept of the Investment Banks' anti-money laundering policies, which appear to be more client-focused. 3
4 Relevant "anti corruption" legal framework Norwegian Penal code Section 276 a c (bribery abroad) Norwegian Penal code Section 317 (whitewash, covers also negligence) / FATF. UK Bribery Act 2011 / US Foreign Corrupt Practices ACT (extra-territorial reach) SEC s Resource Guide to the FCPA OECD/UN and EU Conventions Corporate Social Responsibility developing 4

11 Anti-bribery due diligence Anti-bribery due diligence in transactions key tool in managing investment risk (alongside legal and commercial due diligence) Still neglected "Despite the many recent examples of the perils of ignoring the fraud and corruption dimension of these assessments a fifth of companies still do not consider it as part of M&A due diligence and a quarter never consider it in a post acquisition review" (E&Y global fraud survey 2011) Risk based and proportionate approach e.g. countries/sectors involved and nature of the investment (transparency international) 11
12 12 Example 3rd Party DD - Corruption
13 Corruption - IMF halts Congo loan programme Bloomberg and Reuters news agencies have reported that the International Monetary Fund has halted its loan programme with the Democratic Republic of Congo because of concerns over transparency in the country's mining sector. While Congo is clearly in desperate need of funds, Global Witness believes that concerns over possible corruption in the country's mining sector were so serious that the IMF was justified in stopping its lending. The overall three-year loan programme was for over $500 million, of which $200 million was not yet disbursed. Although the programme was due to expire on 10 December this year, Congo had been hoping for an extension. The immediate reason given by the IMF for halting its lending was the failure of the Congolese authorities to publish a June 2011 mining contract. In that month, the state-owned miner Gecamines ceded 25 per cent of mining company Comide to Straker International Corp, registered in the British Virgin Islands. Congo had promised the IMF and the World Bank that it would publish mining contracts between public and private companies and that it would publish details on the ownership of these companies. It had also pledged to sell mining assets by public tender. Congo followed up on these promises by passing a decree in May 2011 stating that all natural resource contracts would be published within 60 days of their coming into effect. While Global Witness welcomed these moves by the Congolese authorities, many key contracts have not been published and some of those that have been published have underscored the corruption risks we have highlighted. Global Witness has expressed concern over the way in which, since the end of 2009, state mining companies have sold off a slew of key copper and cobalt assets in the immensely mineral-rich Katanga province secretly, without any public tenders and at sales prices that were often steeply below commercially estimated values. The companies buying the assets were registered in offshore tax havens - particularly the British Virgin Islands - that keep company ownership and directors secret. In most, possibly all, cases the companies were linked to Dan Gertler, a businessman who is a friend of President Joseph Kabila. After acquiring the assets, the offshore companies often went on to make huge profits by selling them on to or by partnering up with international companies, in particular the mining giants Glencore and the Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (ENRC). Both of these companies figure on the London Stock Exchange s FTSE 100. The reported decision of the IMF to halt funding should highlight the need for the Congolese state to ensure its natural resources are sold by public tender. Glencore and ENRC should take stock of the corruption fears surrounding their investments in Congo and ensure that all these deals are independently investigated, with all findings published. 13
