Mr Chew Phye Keat

The new Section 17A of the MACC Act is proposed to come into force in June 2020, which will deem a company liable for the corrupt acts of its employees and agents, the only defence to such liability being that the company had put in place “adequate anti-corruption procedures”.  Companies are therefore advised to manage this new risk within its policies and governance structure and framework.    

Key topics covered:

• Basic provisions of the MACC Act
• Why the need for Corporate Liability
• The UK experience under the UK Bribery Act
• New Section 17A - the Malaysian Corporate Liability provision
• Understanding the elements of Section 17A
• Levels of liability under Section 17A
• Adequate Procedures as a defence to Corporate Liability
• Guidelines on Adequate Procedures
• Anti-Bribery Management System under ISO 37001
• What next for Malaysian companies?

• Explore the meaning and implication of the Corporate Liability provision
• Apply working knowledge within your own organisations to manage this risk
