Luna Global Networks, https://lunaglobalnetworks.com/ , was proud to work with partners across the international community to launch an anti-illicit trade alliance, to strengthen networks and find innovative ways to help protect our economies, markets, and communities against the harms and impacts posed by the global illegal economy.
Fraud and corruption causes tremendous damage to public institutions ranging from financial loss, to loss of organizational performance, reputation and credibility. Supreme Audit Institutions are one of the key players in the fight against corruption. By virtue of their oversight of public finances and their role in promoting transparency and accountability in the public sector they play an important role in creating an enabling environment for good governance.
SAIs, however, have differing mandates for fighting fraud and corruption, and face significant challenges in meeting the expectations of stakeholders when it comes to preventing, detecting and reporting on fraud and corruption.
In order to discuss and consider the challenges that SAIs within the Network face in combating fraud and corruption the SAI of Albania has agreed to host a roundtable. The roundtable will provide an opportunity to present the expectations for SAIs in combatting fraud and corruption and examples of practice in EU Member States and Network countries. The roundtable will also provide an opportunity for Presidents and Auditors General as well as senior management of SAIs of the Network, to discuss amongst each other the issues and challenges they face in dealing with fraud and corruption, as well as potentially identifying solutions.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

OBJECTIVES
This high level panel will look at corruption in cross-border trade at a macro level, evaluating the costs of corruption and the
reasons why it is essential to address corruption. The panel will then address systematically the entry points for corruption,
including customs, border police, trade regulators, traders, logistics companies and multinationals.

Building Capacity for
Collective Action
OBJECTIVES
This session will provide examples
of collective action projects that the
Maritime Anti-Corruption Network
has worked on with multiple
stakeholders across various
countries including Nigeria,
Argentina and Indonesia to tackle
the root causes of corruption and
work with government, authorities
and civil society to implement
actions that serve to mitigate
operational business risks.
Participants will gain an
understanding of results so far and
learnings for how-to drive effective
cooperative anti-corruption efforts
that foster integrity in trade.
Hosted by Business for Social
Responsibility (BSR).
OBJECTIVES
Your chance to discover some of
the most innovative and illuminating
insights today on integrity, anti-
corruption and trade, resulting from
a competitive Call for Papers held
by the OECD. This first series of
poster presentations will include the
topics: Corruption Risk Assessment
Tools, Corruption Prevention in
Cross-Border Trade and
Behavioural Economics.
OBJECTIVES
Your opportunity to discuss with
authors on their recently
published work on integrity and
anti-corruption topics, such as
Political Economy, Control of
Corruption and the link between
key Sporting Events and Good
Governance.
OBJECTIVES
Collective action is rising fast up
the global corporate agenda, with
senior executives around the
world acknowledging its
importance to their companies’
anti-corruption and compliance
efforts. But while practitioners are
aware of the need for collective
action, building capacity remains
a challenge. In this panel
discussion, top compliance
executives and other thought
leaders in the field will discuss
why capacity-building is needed
and how the current gap can be
filled most effectively. The event
is designed to stimulate the
exchange of practice-oriented
ideas for projects, policy, and
initiatives that need to be
considered.
Hosted by the International Anti-
Corruption Academy (IACA).

OBJECTIVES
Building on the Revised Arusha
Declaration by the World Customs
Organisation, this must-see session
presents good practices on
implementing integrity standards in
Customs organisations. Thesession
will also debate the challenges
experienced by private sector
companies in working with customs.
One of the highlights of the session
will be a case study from
Guatemala, the ‘la linea’ scandal,
which reached the highest levels of
power, ultimately resulting in the
resignation of Guatemala’s
President.
OBJECTIVES
State-owned Enterprises (SOEs)
make up a large proportion of many
of the world’s fastest-growing
economies. They are also
increasingly active in international
business, either partnering or
competing with private firms. To
ensure SOEs operate with integrity
and in a sustainable manner, SOEs’
boards, managers and government
owners should prioritise sound
governance practices that facilitate
the prevention of corruption. This
session will aim to identify ways that
SOEs can strengthen their internal
controls, ethics, risk management
and compliance programmes to
prevent corruption, as
recommended by the recently
revised OECD Guidelines on
Corporate Governance of State-
Owned Enterprises.
OBJECTIVES
This session debates whether there
is a need for an international
instrument to address corruption
risks in offsets in the procurement of
defence materials. It involves
industry experts, the legal and
compliance profession, and
government agencies responsible
for offsets. The session commences
with presentations to introduce the
timely topic of offsets in defence
procurement, and the main
corruption issues, including the
types of offsets, offset policy,
strategy, management cycle and
valuation, and due diligence and
corruption risks in relation to offsets.
OBJECTIVES
This session will examine
corruption’s role in the
refugee crisis now affecting
areas such as Africa, the
Asia-Pacific region, Europe
and the Middle East. It will
consider corruptionconnected
with the activities of refugee
smugglers, the provision of
international or national aid,
as well as other issues,
including the need to protect
refugees from exploitationand
mistreatment that can lead to
further marginalisation and
violence.

OBJECTIVES
The session will explore corporate approaches on supply chain due diligence to identify,preventand mitigaterisksof corruption
and illicit trade in commodities, manufacturing and financial sectors. Experts will seek to identify cross-cuttinggoodpractices in
areas such as risk identification and analysis, traceability and visibility over raw materials in the supply chain, monitoring,
internal controls, auditing, and collaborative efforts like certification or public-privatepartnerships.The sessionwillcompareand
contrast supply chain integrity practices with global standards and practice on supply chain due diligence in other areas of

Corruption along the
Extractive Value Chain:
Mitigating and Preventing
Risks through Incentives
OBJECTIVES
Trade facilitation and integrity in
trade are closely related.
Simplification of trade procedures
and greater transparency and
predictability will reduce trade
costs and promote economic
efficiency while also removing
incentives and opportunities for
corruption. Building trust between
governments andtheprivatesector
is essential to establish integrity
and good governance in
international trade transactions. In
today’s highly interconnected
world, strong commitments on
transparency and integrity will
support firms’ participation inglobal
value chains. The session will
explore how multilateral and
plurilateral liberalisation and trade
facilitation efforts can promote
cleaner trade.
OBJECTIVES
This session will approach the
following questions from different
angles: Do integrity standards work
in the private sector? What are the
best standardisation options,
including the ISO anti-bribery
management systems standard
(ISO 37001) and trader
accreditation programmes(suchas
the Authorised Economic Operator
accreditation)? What can policy-
makers do to incentivise corporate
integrity and how can companies
increase their access to public
procurement contracts when
adhering to integrity standards?
OBJECTIVES
Linking anti-corruption research
with integrity through a whole-of-
government perspective is crucial
for shaping public policies.
In this session the Dutch Report
Monitoring integrityinthe European
Union will be launched. Different
case studies from the report will be
presented, as well as the EU FP 7
ANTICORRP Index of Public
Integrity. The panel will discuss
how measurements and data in the
area of integrity can contribute to
the policy cycle.
Co-hosted by the OECD and the
Dutch EU Presidency.
OBJECTIVES
According to the 2014 OECD
Foreign Bribery Report one case
out of five occurs in the extractive
sector. In this area, corruption
has become increasingly
complex and sophisticated
affecting each stage of the
extractive value chain. Lost
revenue are huge, considering
that oil trading alone accounted
for 56% of state public budgets in
ten major Sub-Saharan African
countries between 2011-2013.
The session will feature the
launch of the OECD Typology on
Corruption Risks in the value
chain of extractives and discuss
incentives to put a cost on
corruption to make it less
attractive at both the public and
private level.

Lunch Session B:
Corruption, Climate Change and Illegal
Timber Trade
OBJECTIVES
Corruption remains a serious impediment to
economic development and the functioningofpublic
services, particularly in developing and emerging
market economies. Practices such as bribery raise
the costs and risks of doing business, deter foreign
direct investment and negatively affect
entrepreneurship. Inefficient and non-transparent
government regulations, e.g. in customs, are prone
to corruption. By promoting transparent export and
import procedures, Trade Facilitation measurescan
contribute to the fight against corruption.
The aim of the panel discussion is to assess the
impact of corruption on doing business and
investment and to outline innovative approaches to
strengthen clean and ethical business, with a focus
on South America.
Hosted by Alliance for Integrity – GIZ.
OBJECTIVES

OBJECTIVES
This session aims to explore the links between
corruption, climate change and theillegaltimber
trade – from company perspectives on due
diligence in timber supply chains, to the
activities of donor countries and non-
governmental organisations grappling with the
problem.
