New York: The effectiveness and efficacy of India's anti-corruption law to tackle graft in government agencies and public sector businesses came up for discussion during a legal meet in New York.
The seminar was organised by New York State Bar Association and Paris-based Internationale des Avocats (UIA -International Association of Lawyers) held New York City yesterday.
The two-day seminar - Global Integrity Challenges for Enterprise Management & Anti-corruption and Anti-money Laundering - was attended by corporate attorneys from many part of the world.
Shunmugasundaram said anti-bribery, anti-corruption and the expectation of fair and ethical business practices from private sector is a hot topic in today's world-wide political, economic and confidence crises.
Issues such as anti-corruption laws of other countries such as the UK Bribery Act, the Indian Prevention of
Corruption Act, the Chinese Anti-unfair Competition Act, as well as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's Anti-Bribery Convention came up and the panelists discussed how cooperation among prosecutors in countries across the globe has led to better coordinated prosecution of bribery, he added.
The idea is to evolve a consensus on how anti-corruption laws can be invoked on an individual in private sector indulging in financial crime including money-laundering that has a tumbling effect on the national economy and innocent shareholders besides the legal system itself, he said.
